hey, so i had someone in my league ask me why someone added degrom and cut him immediately. And after i asked the guy why he did that he said its a little trick to halve dead money. Is that okay?

> I’m the commissioner in League 207. One owner had Y Gurriel for $16. He cut him, then started an auction a month later, and won that auction for $8.
