It looks like we've split it 50-50 between years in the past. See Mutts attempt to acquire A. Peterson (Chi) last year:

Brian, looking at that Mutts transaction, can you tell me where the penalties show up on the roster app? I see the $23 for each year, but where does the $28 per year show up? It seems to appear under Roscoe Parrish, but then where's his penalty?
That said, go ahead and assess the $158 half-and-half. Wow, trying to do a minor 4th-for-an-RFA trade will cost me $79 for all of 2008. I really screwed myself for nothing. Jim, I'll be checking with you to make sure I have my #s all straight.
