Releasing players

[kylerap]

Any players can be released in season and carry cap hits of 90%/60%/30% for the entire fantasy season if dropped in season.


Buyouts:
Buyouts are allowed.� With this you take the full cap hit of releasing a player all in one season.��
To find the value of a buyout, you take the cap hits for dropping a player in season (90/60/30% of the contract) and add them all up and multiply it by 1.25.


Example-
John Smith, $10.0m 2020
To drop him in 2018 in season it would be cap hits of 9.0, 6.0, 3.0m.� Add those together for $18.0m and multiply by 1.25= 22.5m.� This $22.5m cap hit would all apply to the 2018 cap.� This is a steep penalty, but if the team has the cap room they can use it that year instead of potentially non-keeping the player and getting that cap hit applied.


Buyouts must be completed by August 31 of each year.��


End of year drops/keeper decisions:
Not a true dynasty, you can carryover 35 MLB and 20 Minors per season.

• Keepers must be declared by November 1 (end of the MLB World Series)
  
• Any players with salaries over $5m per year will carry penalties if not kept to prevent over inflating salaries or offering long-term deals to older players or those not worth of contract.�
  
  • Contracts between 5.1-8m per year will carry cap hits of $2m per year for the length of the contract if not kept.��
    
  • Contracts between 8.1-12m per year will carry cap hits of $3m per year
    
  • Contracts over 12.1m per year will carry cap hits of $5m per year for duration of contract
