Jon Stark
who do you replace soto with?
QCCubsPerspective
Wellington Castillo.
Logjammer D"Baggagecling
every catcher in the pro baseball is better then Soto so i don’t care who they replace him with.. Hendry was blind to see Jake Fox was a HUGE asset to the Cubs Great power and played 5 positions all of them which he played extremely well.. you could have a one eyed, prosodic leg catcher better then Soto and he would run better then him too
Jon Stark
Yikes to the idea of Bay playing RF…
Jon Stark
The cubs would probably go for that, but why would the Angels do that?
Jon Stark
Not if they have to assume all of his salary. A team might be willing to take a flyer if the Yanks eat some of his salary, but what good would that really do the Yanks…though maybe Burnett could regain some form playing in the NL.
QCCubsPerspective
To think he could be the first 15-game with an ERA over 6.00 since 1938.
mgsports
Maybe throw in Will Millbrooks in the deal to get Jackson Back because A’s need a future 3B.
Snoochies8
we already have our 3rd basemen of the future in Stephen Parker, or if SS doesn’t work for him, move Grant Green over there. Also Adrian Cardenas in AAA
mgsports
Kevin K.?
Snoochies8
Unless he severely changes his approach, he’s more likely to be let go. He’s not even on the 40 man roster anymore
jwsox
Really upset to not see rios, Dunn and peavy not in this list. I know they more than likely would not be moved due to contract but weirder things have happened and a guy can dream can’t he?
Spaldingballs
The waivers are supposed to be secret I wouldn’t be surprised if all of then cleared waivers already.
bluejaysstatsgeek
During the Johnson for MacDonald and Hill Press conference, Anthopoulos said the he had put the entire team on waivers at the start of the month.
Joe Valenti
everyone wants to throw bay in RF in that scenario. wouldn’t you rather crawford there or if you really want to jumble things up ellsbury in right and crawford in center? i think crawford has the tools of a rightfielder (decent arm and ridiculous range)
Joe Valenti
pagan? hes been tearing it up since he got hurt
cardsfan4life123
Ok, I thought I understood the trade deadline and waiver trade details, but apparently I do not. I don’t see Kelly Johnson on the players who cleared waivers, but he was just traded after the deadline. How does that work?
Nevermind, I didn’t realize they were all put on waivers.
MonsterPike
I think Soto would have some trade value… He’s not “release” material… Besides, his salary was $3 mil for this year & only a month left… He not costing much the rest of the way…

Troy Renck was blowing up Twitter yesterday about how the Rockies put a claim on David Wright, and now, he cleared waivers? I’m lost.
Isaac
Me2 they might have pulled him back and then put him on waivers again but then thy have to trad him
ritz
The whole waivers thing gets so overblown by media and the fans. It’s not supposed to be public information, but in this day and age with all of the social media outlets it’s hard to keep anything from the public. It amazes me how many Mets fans and MSM outlets have made the whole “zOMG WRIGHT WAS PUT ON WAIVERS” into a story. I’m sure he’s been put on waivers every year and pretty much every player on every team for that matter. It means nothing.
CitizenSnips
I thought putting everyone through waivers common knowledge. I guess not.
Kevin
Didn’t the Rockies put in a claim on Wright and the Mets pulled him back so he shouldn’t be on this list.
cjmsd
How did Lance Berkman clear waivers? 29 HR and 292 average? I call BS.
diehardmets
I have to agree. He hasn’t done much power wise in the past 30 days (only 2 HR), but he’s still hitting near 300 with an OPS over 800. I’m shocked nobody put a claim in on him.
Matt Johnston
It’s because he seems to only play really well in a place he likes to be in. Look how awful he was in NY. He went to the Cardinals, and flourished in an environment not as hostile and media saturated as in NY. I believe the chemistry in the clubhouse really affects him. According to reports he is the “Funny Guy” in the clubhouse. He also mentioned he wanted to stay in St. Louis, teams must have known this or they would have put a claim in for sure, either that or didn’t think he would pass a physical.
Joe Momma
What makes RISP with 2 outs a clutch stat? You can be up 10 runs and have a RISP with 2 outs…I wouldn’t exactly call that a clutch situation. Sabremetrics can only take a shot in the dark at what a clutch situation is but you will never really know unless you watch the game. This is why sabres are flawed….stats and sabres can be used as a tool to support a case but unless you watch the game they are useless.
Matt Galvin
Wright to Angels for Trout/one their SS/Mathis/Thompson/Palmer?
The list for people has cleared Waviers and haven’t been traded yet.
WE will se more before 9-1.
Mayor Quimby
“David Wright, Mets – It’s surprising that Wright cleared waivers, but it doesn’t mean the Mets have interest in dealing him.”
Then why put a player on waivers? Am I missing something here?
jturn14
Braves could use Ryan Theriot. I know he’s awful, but even awful would be an upgrade from Julio Lugo’s corpse.
cards2WS
Theriot isn’t ‘awful’. He’s an average bat with average D with average speed. His D is normally better than this years too. A definite upgrade over Lugo.
Chris Niemann
Still think the Phillies should pull the trigger on Johnny Damon. Gload is playing injured and has been horrible since the all-star break.
I could also see them putting a claim on Carroll (LAD).
Geaux_Braves
Ryan Theriot, Matsui, & Angel Pagan really need to be wearing a Braves uni on the 40 man roster. Soriano would be nice in place of Hideki if Chicago will really eat a lot of that contract. Wouldn’t mind seeing the Braves make a push for Wright, but that would be a slaughtering of the farm.
Sean
video games much?
YankeeBaseball
What about the Yankees for Gorzelanny? They could certainly use another lefty in the pen and he’s done great against lefties this year!
forkball27
Can’t be any worse than the Brad Penny Experiment.
Matt Galvin
Some Setup Man or Closer will be moved this week to either Yankees or Red Sox.
johnsmith4
I hope you like Jon Rauch
craigkimbrelfan
Ryan Theriot is interesting.
Sean
not if he is on your team
