I don’t think it works like this (retrospectively). I think if a player decides to play overseas (instead of MLB), you can release him free of charge, but you released him 6 months before he committed with the overseas league.
I look forward to the decision here, as I could be wrong.

Hmmmm. Yeah, the player already being released changes the calculus. Anyone know if we have precedent here?

having a few players sign overseas, I have released guys and they sign overseas the following season and had their salary washed (ex Dan Black). The only ones I haven't had washed are if I release a guy and someone else in the league signs them before they sign overseas (ex Van Slyke) then the team who he was last with in PB got the salary washed.
So it seems the precedent has been whoever the last team in PB to own the player got the salary wash.
