I've had the experience of a vet refusing assignment, then getting DFA'd and clearing waivers, and then *still* refusing to be demoted. This is what led to me to disable the 'players can refuse assignment to minors' option. The guy still had a couple of multi-million $ seasons left on his contract, so either he was going to be dead-weight on my Active Roster or I was going to have to release him and pay up all those millions up front.
I'd be in favor of the 'players can refuse assignment' option *if* it meant that after clearing waivers and still refusing, you could release them without penalty, with the remainder of their contract voided.
