Pending FA and he was placed on the commissioners exempt list.
There wasn't really anyone to cut at that point. On the commissioners list he becomes a non-entity for roster purposes and now he's just a free agent (that nobody is going to touch this off-season).
Urias likely had a $100 million outburst. I'm not sure, with multiple documented DV incidents, he'll ever pitch in the big leagues again. There's always a bit of a "yeah, but he did it with the Dodgers and their fairy dust" element to Dodger free agent SPs. Combine that with a relatively soft platform season for him and ultimately his age won't matter.
He was going to be probably the top FA starting pitcher on the market with Ohtani down. That's pretty much a guaranteed 4 year, $100 million deal especially with as young as he is.
And he flushed it.
