Expensive Contracts

Hope someone can help. I have a couple of older players with very expensive contracts. I need to reduce payroll.

I want to trade them but not surprisingly no other team wants them. What other options should I be considering? Thanks for any guidance.

The more of their contracts you're willing to eat, the more likely you'll get something in return.

It's may not clear as much payroll space as you'd like, but it's better to have to pay $20m a year instead of $40m.

Some options for you.

1. Include prospects
2. Eat some salary
3. Trade for players with same high salaries but less years.

I recommend number 3 as the most viable. If someone has 4 years left trade them for maybe someone with 2 years.

The only other option I could give is to waive/dfa them if you don't necessary need/want anything in return. If someone claims them, they claim the entire contract too.

I thought that when a team grabbed someone from waivers, the original team still had to eat the contract, minus league minimum, which the new team paid.
