Last thread got derailed, but here's the main one now. Please self-report player cuts and trade allowances here.

Bonus money does not go against the cap right?

If the player qualifies for it, it does. It's part of their contract.

[Mainge]

Version one was way better.
--------------------
Looking back on that thread, Bobbobs team sucks wiener now and would probably love to have Michael Brantley back while Nnys team was a game away from wiining the whole thing. How unfair.

[Mainge]

Most leagues (all?) convert bonuses into base salary.

[PitchingWinsGames]

It's a salary cap...should only reflect the salary. A bonus is a bonus.

Considering they're basically all incentive bonuses for the contract, they're contractual.

[FishFanInPA]

I have a 5 million dollar bonus from you there chief commish

[PitchingWinsGames]

Ah, so you do, I'll update it now.

[PitchingWinsGames]

Nny was kind enough to updates this, so thanks to him

[nny]

Also Miami is currently over his cap, sent him a PM to fix it. But if you're looking for an easy way to get a prospect for nothing, reach out to him.

[nny]

If you're releasing a player who has a multi-year contract, please post in here.

Example: I'm releasing Ichiro Suzuki, who has a 2 year, 10.5m per contract. By releasing him, I'm eating his entire contract this season (21m). After releasing him, I have a 53.5m payroll, but that +21m puts my actual season payroll at 74.5m. Good way to get bad contracts off your books if you have payroll space.

Just post something like the following:

Releasing Ichiro - 2 years, 10.5m per year

[AdamRavs]

I'm releasing Johan Santana.. 15.9mil + 51 = 67mil give or take

[nny]

It's total contract. Johan Santana has 15.9m for 3 years = 47.7m. In order to release him, you'd need a payroll of 27 mil - and you'd be at 42m after releasing him. So you do not have enough room to release him.

If you wish to wait until after free agents file, it'd be -31.8m, putting you at a 43.2m salary cap for next season.

[AdamRavs]

2009 is over.. and the last yr of it is a player option which i thought we were not doing? i got him in that player draft thing which I wasn't around for. Didn't want him but took him cause I had the cap room

[nny]

Options are allowed, it's manipulating options that are not allowed - http://soflamarlins.com/showpost.php...1&postcount=11
Santana's is same as his other yearly salary, so it's not abusing it.

However, I remember talking to PWG during the draft to allow you to release Santana then. Up to him if you can still release him without penalty.

[PitchingWinsGames]

I'll compromise because I feel as though I made it clear there was absolutely no obligation to keep Santana and to be honest I don't like the argument "I didn't want him but kept him because of my cap space" so, for sake of the contract, I WON'T count the player option at this point for releasing.

So if he waits until FA file, it'll just be the 15.9m.
