2024 Rosterbation

[tzill]

The Los Angeles Angels have placed starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore and Reynaldo López, and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk on waivers, sources tell ESPN. Huge potential playoff implications: All can be claimed by teams for free on Thursday.


I'd think we will put a claim in on Giolito. Depends upon if another team with a worse record claims him as well.

Looks like Cincy and/or Mia could claim Giolito

cost would be about 1.7M

Wow.

This is going to cause shockwaves.

They gave up Quero for Lopez and Giolito. Quero is a top 100 prospect. That would be like us losing Whisenhunt.

I don't remember a team ever doing this before.

Me neither. This is worse than the White Flag White Sox.

 

[tzill]

Me neither. This is worse than the White Flag White Sox.

The six players waived today:

Lucas Giolito
Matt Moore #forevergiant
Reynaldo Lopez
Randal Grichuk
Hunter Renfroe
Dominic Leone #forevergiant

 

[tzill]

I wonder what the rules are about signing waived players?

Meaning, can we offer MORE than their contract?
Are they free to sign with anyone?

I know they can appear in the playoffs.

Don’t know if they’ll make it to us, but the Giants better not any of these guys slip by them. Money should be zero object if the players reach us

We need bats far more, Renfroe or Grichuk

If they are claimed, the new team get the player AND contract. The whole thing.

If they clear waivers, they can only play for league minimum (the Angels still pay them, minus a pro-rated portion of league Min). Unlike the NBA and (I think) the NFL, no double dipping in MLB.

I guess I don't see much of an upgrade there.

With Conforto out most of the year, we need outfielders. Upgrade over the shitty hitters we got ain't hard, it's riskless

 

[msgkings322]

Looking closer those guys are indeed pretty meh. But so are the ones we got.

 

[calsnowskier]

I would like Renfroe or Giolito, obviously. Lopez might be able to offer some depth, but I don’t see that as a big upgrade. Grichuk does not interest me.

 

[calsnowskier]

But I doubt Giolito or Renfroe will get to us.

 

[calsnowskier]

Spanks placed Bader on Waivers. I think I may be more interested in him than Renfroe.

 

[LHG]

Could be worse, could be the Angels. Ouch

They already had a reputation for not a good team to sign with (seems all their free agent acquisitions struggle with injuries). Now, they will also be known as the team that jettisons veterans in late August. Good luck to that franchise ever being relevant in the next 10 years (unless their farm system gets fixed).

Are they free to sign with anyone?

I know they can appear in the playoffs.

If any are claimed, the claiming team is on the hook for the remainder of the contract. If they are released after not being claimed, any signing team is only on the hook for the major league minimum. I expect all to go unclaimed and will be free to sign with whomever offers a deal. I don't think teams can offer more than what they are under contract already so I assume the teams that give them the best chance for playoff opportunities will be signing them.

Oh, and they have to be signed before September 1st to be eligible for the playoffs so these are going to be picked up quickly (most of them at least).
