The Washington Nationals include the Monrreal Expos (from whence they came) stats/records as their own but do not count the old Washington Senators stats/records.

I think buying out one year would just be an acknowledgement that he's trading that year as insurance against injury, rather than some commitment to the team. I'd be content if they just agreed on a price through his arb years, just to eliminate his salary as an annual issue.
