I didn't check yet to see if Cabrera's contract was fixed but I think even in 23 he always retired after year 1. They occasionally (ok, not often) have good seasons and you'd think they'd opt out given the contracts being handed to other players. Baez is coming in during an awful SS market and a decent SP demands a lot more than Rodriguez. But.. let's assume that doesn't happen. You probably need to eat part of the contract, which is likely still worth it, or take on another big contract for a player you like more (you can find players other teams hate too). Or sacrifice some prospects with them. I got rid of them a lot in 23 that way, though Baez would bizarrely excel on other teams. I'll always play a Tiger franchise so I agree it's a puzzle.
