Okay, timeline from how I figure it...

1) The 2009 seasons ends with Santana on the books and you at -$8M.

2) The 2010 season begins with Santana on the books and you at $15.5M.

3) You trade Santana.

4) Because you've traded Santana, you argue the -$8M should be gone, correct? That can't happen, since that salary was factored into last year's financials. You are in a new year, and since you started that year in the red, you are now only $15.5M instead of nearly $24M in the black. Or in the green, as OOTP puts it.
