Just teams looking to get out of the contract with minimal/no return.
this is why hes released
Oh, I 7nderstand why they are doing it, and why he was placed TODAY. I understand the strategy behind the move. And I agree that the move is completely “legal”.
I could see Houston picking him up.
Didn't see that one coming. the Rays aren't even completely out of the race, but I guess they play the long game
It must suck to be a Rays fan. They are very much in the hunt and, yet, they’ve traded Arozerena, Eflin, Adam, Civale and Paredes already. They will probably move others like Fairbanks and additional bullpen pieces, as well. They seem to function as a developmental team for other organizations. It stinks.
Red Sox need a RH option at 1B. Not sure how soon Casas will be back, but Dominic Smith has mostly been terrible. Bell might be too pricey for the Sox, though.
Trading Civale, Eflin and Adam I understand, because they have Rasmussen rehabbing to come back as a reliever, and Jeffrey Springs makes his return on Tuesday. They’ve got a lot of starters, but they also haven’t turned those players into current players who could help them now, except Morel. They are all longer-term adds.
Chicago does not have a bunch of valuable rental players. Sure, they could try to move Bellinger, but his opt-out and mediocre performance this year will make that a small market. Jameson Taillon has been floated, but again, they still have him under control And could very well hold him.
Lots of moving parts with this one. Fedde is going to STL, LAD also getting Edman.
