Why the outright? Couldn’t they just put him on the 60 day DL? I mean its not like he is going to play this year, and putting him on the 60 day would have cleared his 40 man roster spot, am I right with that? Are they hoping someone claims him?

According to Wikipedia’s “disabled list” page, the 60-day DL move only clears a 40-man roster spot if the guy was on the 25-man active roster. If he’s in the minors, he goes on the minor-league DL and the move doesn’t clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

That clears that up. Thanks.

Looks like West is headed west

Someone else can pay for the cost of rehab. Garcia’s not a highly regarded prospect, and as a 6-year minor-league vet he’ll be eligible for free agency after this season anyway. I’d be very surprised if someone claims him.

Garcia was once a promising prospect but injuries ruined that.
