I really can't wrap my head around this decision. At least qualify him and TRADE him if you don't see him in your plans long term. He has some value.

Aribitration rights. If Byron gets overpaid, they can't walk away. Perhaps they think there isn't a lot of interest out there, and thus they can re-sign him without the risk of arbitration.
