What are my options for free cap space? If I remove somebody from my 40 man does that free cap space or is it only if I trade them away?

Trade or waive are pretty much the only options.

Thanks for the quick reply! Away I go to craft some crazy deals.

Waive does not necessarily create cap space; if the guy is unclaimed you don't get cap relief. Trade is the only reliable way.

Right. I was reading a little into what he was implying, which is waiving and somebody claiming. Slowly starting to learn the in-and-outs. Thanks again, guys!

You can also create cap space by declining options and by having players drafted in the Rule 5 draft.
But that's only at the beginning of the season so never mind.

Here's what I cannot figure out. I have guys on the 40 man that I cannot call up because I'm getting this message: "You may not promote this player - it would put you over the salary cap."

What am I missing?

They're probably making AAA money, maybe $55k. When you promote then to the bigs, their salary jumps to $327k.

That's exactly what it is. Thank you!
