So I have some players that I think are costing me too much money, what are your best tactics to get rid of him? My team is the Rays so I have to rely on players that do not break the bank....si what are some of your best tactics to get rid of this guy without having to fullfill his contract, I tried trading him bt no one seems to want him, well they kind of do a little but i dont want to trade for someone crappy that will not fullfill any of my needs

Your not going to get uberstud prospects or superstars for your overpaid, declining players.

If the salary is no longer worth the performance, and someone is willing to take the bad contract off your hands, then take whatever you can get and re-allocate the money where your team will most benefit.

What he said and maybe chuck in lower prospects might help too

If the poor player is making a lot less then you HAVE fulfilled one of your needs: cutting payroll. You can then spend that money on someone else.
