Contracts with a Released Player (Suggestion)

[Deleted]

Hey Everyone i came up with a Suggestion regarding the Salary Cap and the Numbers tied to it..

Half of MLB has teams over the 100 Million Salary cap that we have enlisted here for example the Yankees have a 233 Million Salary so what i have come up with is simple and it would work out for alot of teams that have bad contracts (A Rod, Johan, Zito, Linceum, Howard, Teixera)

Example 1:
NYY Release Alex Rodriguez - Due 28 Million
If a team claims or trades for him that team pays the full salary (Hey someone might want him for 28 Million)

If he clears waivers then he would be a FA and the FA bid for him would start at 14 Million, The NYY are on the hook for 14 Million not the 28 Million.

Example 2:
Minnesota Releases Joe Mauer - Due 23 Million
Same Process as A-Rod instead of owing 23 Million they would be on the hook for 11.5 Instead of the full amount

Only thing a team has to due if to put the players final contract number in there salary commitments 

I Think this would also generate the smaller markets the teams with most cap space to make bigger splash for bigger named players, just a suggestion and wanna hear what you all think about it

We have a free drop to start the league.

I think the financials are stifling transactions here.

I'm in another 30 teamer with a few guys that play in here and the activity of moving players (trades, adds, releases) is constant year round and the managers on Proboards range between 20-28 on per 24 hour period, every day.

The financials are looser, somewhat larger with a cap and floor, and the penalties for releasing guys isn't as crippling. The longest you're on the hook for a released salary is from the beginning of the off season until the end of the upcoming Regular MLB season. And you're on the hook for 50% of the players contract.

I don't want this league to be identical to the other league. But I think things need to loosen up.
