Odds And Ends: Royals, Rockies, Rhodes, Braves

By Alejandro Leal [August 2, 2008 at 1:36pm CST]

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.
