Hmm, a trade for cash to cover a waiver claim. Why all the machinations instead of a straight up trade? Boredom in front offices?

I’d like some further description of this trade as well. Why isn’t just a regular trade? Could another team still block Stroup?

Strop was on the 40 man roster in Texas, and therefore had to clear waivers to complete the trade.

I believe that since the Orioles had the worst record in the AL, they would automatically win the waiver claim. Nothing strange going on.
