Still thinking about this question of ownership...
5.6 doesn't specify the procedure for the auction in the event of an edited or deleted bid: "5(2016).6 Free Agency Bids are Final All bids on free agents are final. You may not withdraw, edit or delete any bids under any circumstances."
Without any direct procedure, and without knowing the initial amount of the Tigers' bid, I would imagine it would be best to treat this as it appears at face value... The most recent bid did not exceed the previous bid by $0.1, therefore according to 5.7 it should be ignored.
Burnett would become property of the Yankees due to the ignored bid. (This conclusion was already reached based on the comments above, and retirement request.)
This wouldn't be the appropriate thread to continue this discussion, but we may need to think about applying the same procedure to deleted/edited bids as we do with invalid bids.
