The Romero incident actually happened before in another league that Hokey and I are in. PPL were giving silly contract and b/c Player options and NTC are common in that league, teams were bypassing those by waiving claiming "I'm not trading him, so he can't say no."
Honestly there are a few shaddy things going on in this league during FA. I think a few years back if you revolked your offers on a FA then the team still in the bidding gets a reduced price for him. And it gets to the point where you have to start writing rules for every little thing for us b/c if it's not writing we abuse it.
I don't think quitting or firing is in hand, but some sort of due punishment should be doled out. If it was me I would keep him out of the 1st round of the draft for 2 years(assuming he only has his 2 firsts. If he has 5 then another discussion/punishment is in order) And an even more ridiculous no Playoff appearance, ala NCAA rules like USC, for next season, but that's just to show that your serious.
But the first one, no 1st round picks. If he has this year's and next, he's not allowed to get any type A's nor should he be allowed to receive any(negotiable but I think we're doing sandwich so its a grey area) He can't trade for them or trade them away. when the draft comes, the worst player will be taken.
