They have a decision to make by 9/1 as you can’t use the S/W past that. If you S/W, by then, it is 2x remaining years + 1 year for the whole contract (which was always the case). The thing that is new is IF you do a straight waive for year one, you get a second decision point later for the second year. In the past, the Waive was a Waive for both seasons. The new part is the ability to Waive year one and then later be able to decide to S/W the second year.
Thanks for the clarification!
I was wondering if a waive this year could be changed to a stretch mid-season and sort of act like a secret bank account in case the half-salary was needed for a trade. But it doesn't work that way, so there goes that idea.
Waive or stretch waive, it will just be the lingering smell from a bad deal that should have never happened.
