Career Ending Injuries and Contracts

In my fictional league I have a superstar DH that I just awarded a four year, $100 million dollar contract. He got injured in the preseason in the second year of his contract and was out for half a season. A few weeks before he was scheduled to come back, he suffered a setback and the injury was deemed career ending.

Am I going to be on the hook for the rest of his mega contract? I hope not, because the real irony is that I was planning on trying to move him after the season.

When you release a guy with career ending injury, he walks away without a dime of your cash, mr. stingy gm.

Phft, my team probably has insurance. Sima Svabic and his career ending hamstring strain are going to be just fine. Out of curiosity, will I ever be able to do anything like make him a minor league hitting coach?

I have seen the option to make retired players into coaches. I don't know if you have to be in commissioner mode. Pretty cool though.

I thought you had to wait for the player to retire at seasons end. If you release the player you are still on the hook for his salary. Has this been changed for OOTPX?

When I released my injured player during the middle of the season his contract was knocked off of my payroll, but I didn't think to look at player expenses or anything.

When you release a guy under contract, you get a prompt which tells you that you will be on the hook for X $$. When you release a guy who suffered a career-ending injury, it merely asks if you are sure you want to release him. No penalty is noted. Then when I go to sign an FA or make a trade, my payroll is improved by the amt. of the released player's salary.

So from this I've concluded that the released guy walks away with $0 from my pocket.

Yes, this is correct. I can confirm this from multiple career ending injuries. You are not charged a dime when you release him the next day. Also, if you look, the computer teams always release theirs the day after a CEI as well. Well, at least I can confirm it up to OOTP X. I haven't played an actual season with it yet, just been testing and messing around so far.
