The answer is to allow add-drops that increase a team's payroll, not disallow all drops that result in <90%.
Seems to me that the 90% floor should apply to the sum of cash + payroll. What if you decide early in the season you should have drafted Dimaggio instead of Mays? Dropping Mays puts you under the floor. Doing it this way (90% of (cash + payroll)) does not prevent a manager from being stupid and having lots cash and a small payroll, but it does prevent dozens of intra-season drops, which I believe is the issue at hand. Also requires no special handling by the code logic pre and during the regular season.
