I've just submitted the ticket below and will share the answer I get from CS, but I thought it might be interesting to see what the forum users expect the answer to be.

Assuming no further change to his status, can you please tell me what salary Lonny Estrada (http://whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=4114025) will earn next season if I do not release him?

He was selected in the Rule 5 draft this season and offered back. When that offer back was declined, he was placed in AAA. His salary for this season is $327,000. He is not currently on the 40-man roster, but he will not become a MiL FA because he has only 4 years of pro experience (5 once we roll).

What should his salary be for season 20, if I do not release him and do not change his status in any way?

$55K, although I'm sure you would not have posted this if that were the answer.

He'll stay at 327K... there's a point where they revert to the MiL salary, but I think it's in the 6th year free agency.

Pretty sure that's incorrect, as long as he's in the minors at rollover - unless the Rule 5 pick changes something from normal operations.
