Salary impacts:
Cutthroats at $5.635m + 1.96m = $7.595m > $7.1m (14.2m@50%)
Madmen at $2.050m + $ 14.2m = $16.25m > $980k( 1.96m@50%)
Accept
To make room for minor leaguers...I will post waivers for Chris Okey, Ibandel Isabel, Josh Staumont.
Trade approved.
To compensate for a lack of maths -
Cutthroats add Trevor May and Zach Lee
processed in the database (as originally posted)
Darrell - maybe I've missed something, which would not surprise me, but can you confirm your post regarding adding May and Lee?
Without adding the additional $500K from their salaries, Darrell would have exceeded the cap. My trade approval came too early before I did the maths properly in the spreadsheet.
The only problem is I don't have Zach Lee assigned to a team, he's unrostered.
He's never been waived or traded and was on both the official and my own roster.
FWIW my database shows Lee rostered to RiverCity at 250k till 2019
Why would Zach Lee ever have been promoted to begin with? That's weird.
I promoted him instead of cutting him in 2015. A strategy that I used on 4 pitchers that year. It did not go well. Which is probably why he wasn't on Rod's roster. He didn't have enough innings to make DMB since 2015.
Ah, crap. Sorry Darrell. I didn't mean to question you and your strategy. I thought somebody else owned him (a GM no longer with us, and you had acquired him in a trade), and I was totally throwing that unknown GM under the bus. Nice guy, I am. :)
Lee has been added to Madmen roster
