Waiving him doesn't erase his salary, you still pay him, and then you also pay for a replacement. If you have someone who wants Burke in trade, and you have another "just in case" offense-creator who wants to come sign for the minimum, that saves a sliver, but it's a lot of work to get there without going backwards.
Burke is at 3.3 next year. The minimum for a rookie is about 1. Because of the tax, the difference is multiplied, no? We are now firmly in your territory, certainly not mine. But is it really just a tiny difference?
