Gee, couldn’t they have transferred him to the 60 day DL and kept him?
Koby2
Exactly my thinking.

Doesn’t matter either way. No one is going to claim a AA relief pitcher fresh off tommy john surgery.

I bet the Yankees jump all over this guy courtesy of Kevin Towers

We’re seriously too cheap to just put him on the 60-Day DL? Or we couldn’t just DFA Hannahan?
Hode
DFA Hannahan where? He’s already in AAA… this is what Dave Cameron of USSMariner tweeted about the release “Betting M’s re-sign Orta to a minor league deal after he clears waivers, thus avoiding granting him a year of service by DL’ing him.” Makes sense

IF they put him on the 60-day DL, they would have to pay him the Major League minimum salary. Not a smart move, financially
