Odds And Ends: Royals, Rockies, Rhodes, Braves
Let's round up some remaining links in this lazy Saturday afternoon:
- The Royals DFA'd Yasuhiko Yabuta. The White Sox had tried to sign the Japanese reliever last winter but were unsuccessful. Yabuta was 1-3 with a 5.46 ERA and had signed a two-year, $6MM deal with Kansas City.
- The Rockies tried desperately to acquire a fifth starter before the non-waiver deadline but couldn't match-up with the Mariners for Jarrod Washburn or the Nationals for Tim Redding; and Paul Byrd had Colorado on his no-trade list. The Rockies will continue to look for a starter via waiver wire claims.
- Arthur Rhodes was shocked when he learned he had been traded to the Marlins. ''There had been a lot of talk about me being traded to a couple of other teams, but I guess Florida wanted me more."
- The Braves DFA'd back-up catcher Corky Miller yesterday, and Royce Ring today.
- Also today (and in that Ring link), the Astros DFA'd Chad Paronto.

Rumor is that we've DFA'd Royce Ring today too.

Sure enough bravesfan91, Ring has been DFA'd.
@icedrake523, yes, daught, as in "dot." You can never be too sure about spam bots.

That is the first i have heard of Paul Byrd having a no trade in his contract , This isn't something that was released to the Indians fans and Media .
Local paper had everyone believing to a trade to the Rockies was very close.
They wouldn't report this if there was a no trade clause in his contract.
