For going over cap. Unlike Boston, the Padres were fine with their salary had he not illegally dumped Peavy (he did so before the rule was in place, didn't update his roster with the 50% salary, didn't post after the rule was put in affect that he was dropping him, and finally, would have gone over his cap space with the 50% discount on Peavy).
After much deliberation as to what should be done we've decided that Peavy will be retained by the Padres as his drop was illegal, Heath Bell, Leo Nunez, and Francisco Cordero will be returned to the free agent pool with the RF's as there's no where else to place them now. The Padres are removed from the remainder of the free agent period.
I suggest everyone reads up on the constitution to make sure that none of us are in violation of a rule and I highly encourage everyone to police themselves, the more stuff that gets quietly taken care of (erroneous contracts, arb years, salary errors) the less of a headache it is for everyone.
