Released Players And Salaries (Castillo Reports to Phillies)
Can someone clear something up for me?
The Mets released Castillo and eat his $6 million, then the Phillies sign him to the MLB minimum, so does he get that plus the 6mil, or do the Mets pay (6mil - 414,500)?
Then, if Castillo doesn't make the Phillies and gets released, only to be picked up by say the Padres (interest in Luis Hernandez?) what happens salary-wise then?
Is it conceivable that a Castillo signed and released 12 times would have little cost to the Mets or am I just pipe dreaming?

Well for your first question
I believe he just gets $6 million ($5.6 million from the Mets, $400,000 from the Phillies). Not sure what happens if multiple teams sign/release him.
MLB minimum salary
prorated among the other teams. Mets still on the hook for the balance.
What's the score, boys?
What did Bugs Bunny do?
What's with the Carrot League baseball today?
