Did you try and trade him first? I have only outright released someone with that much salary baggage a few times after I know I can't trade him for anything and he's being a cancer to the ballclub and has to go. That's the only scenario an outright release with this type of salary makes sense because even if the wheels have fallen off I'm sure he's still a bit better than your average player. If he's not being a butt about it stick him on the bench as an overpriced pinch hitter if you are ready to move on. Put him on the trading block and see if another team will eventually bite. You have 4 years so situations change with other teams.
