Tre got burned on his gamble, Valimaki wasn't worth his one way deal. Sending Kylington down is not (nor ever should have been) an option. And Tre's bosses are probably not happy to be paying a guy over a million to play in the minors.

Not a chance.
You sign contracts as they make sense at the time. And you manage players based on what the team needs, and what the player needs.
Having Valimaki's contract in Stockton is irrelevant - they are paying him regardless. Literally zero impact on the organization.
