Dropped at no cost as he is no longer in Yahoo database and so considered retired.
Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't believe Tanaka is officially retired despite not being in Yahoo. The same can be said for Kevin Cron (KC Royals) too. Maybe some others. The last I heard both these guys are in Japan or Korea respectively playing. So technically they could still come back to play in the US at some point.
Also if I'm not mistaken Tanaka was auctioned last year AFTER he went to Japan. So everyone that bid on him knew the risks that come with that bid. That he might never come back. So I think it would opening a can of worms to allow him to be cut for no cap hit now.
So I am going to rule against this at this time. Once we get to the proper window (after the Feb auction) when cuts are allowed again, then he can be cut...for a cap hit.
With that said, if I'm missing some news about him officially retiring from pro baseball, then please let me know. Then I would say that this is legal by our rules.
Let me know if there are any more questions about this.
