I don't see an issue here. IMO... it's not enough of a unbalanced issue that will throw the league into total chaos if one or two GMs a season (at most) get the opportunity to pull a move like this on a player that is at least "average" in the majors, much less all-start level.
Having a team or two do this each season is not going to come even close to throwing things all out of balance in the league.
Making a rule and then having to police that rule is just extra work on a commissioner whether the commish catches it OR it's brought to the commissioners attention.
So the player in question misses out on bigger coin for one more season, that's simply the way the ball bounced.
I would simply go with the "move along, there's nothing more to see here" approach. Creating a specific rule for every kind of minor, blip on the radar will create more work and strife than it's worth.
Just my two cents.
