couldn't even get low level prospects?Brewers claimed Jordan Lyles from Padres as well
As with Ross, SD let him go for no compensation
Oakland seems like a potential fitOld friend and sometime "can we get him back?" guy Danny Valencia was DFA'd by these Orioles before last night's game.
Thank the baseball gods for small favors.Edit. Joel Sherman reporting that he was claimed before he got to the NYYs.

Can he play 3B????Matt Adams back to St. Louis.
the sell-off is happening. Harper has to go now, yes?
It all depends on who claimed himthe sell-off is happening. Harper has to go now, yes?
Wait, if waivers "expired" does that mean he cleared them? If it does, that certainly doesn't mean he's staying, it means he could go to anyone they work out deal with.now a big boy source, Heyman, says waivers on Bryce have expired and he's staying.
Okay, just checking his meaning.It means he was claimed but the 48 hour window to work out a deal has expired, so they pulled him back
They will get a pick after the end of the 4th round (because the Nats are luxury tax payers), so you're looking at around the 135th pick in the draft. Is it worth it to just get that pick or try and get some kind of decent prospect? The Dodgers probably weren't offering anything at or above that level of player, so the Nats probably just figured to pull him back.The QO pick would be better than whatever they would get now, no?
What expired was the negotiation window once the Dodgers claimed him. You have a specified time period within which to work out a trade, IIRC 48.5 hours.Wait, if waivers "expired" does that mean he cleared them? If it does, that certainly doesn't mean he's staying, it means he could go to anyone they work out deal with.
Adams went to SL for $50K.Matt Adams back to St. Louis.

Giving younger players more playing time? All Adams is going to play is 1B or LF. They are stuck with Zimmerman at 1B for another year. And they aren't going to bench Soto or Harper at this point. So he's taking up roster space unnecessarily. At least he might get some regular PT with the Cards. It's addition by subtraction.Adams went to SL for $50K.
And salary relief, of course. But how can you say you are improving your team for the present or the future when you make a deal like that?
Absolutely. He tore the cover off the ball in his short AAA stint, and he was decent with the MFY last year. I'm cautiously optimistic that he'll contribute down the stretch.Not a waiver per se but Matt Holliday was called up by the Rockies. As someone who was around when he was in his prime here in Denver (and someone who is aging in dog years) I’d love to see him contribute.
This pisses me off. One of my favorite players and now I must hate him. Fuck you Giants and Fuck you Yankees.Giants trade McCuthchen to MFY
Cardinals seem to be out:
