Jays should look in on Nava to come off the bench, most of their outfielders hit from the left side..he would provide some much needed depth..Axford is canadian maybe they can find him a job selling hot dogs in the upper decks

Nava has historically been a better left handed than right handed hitter. Not a great fit for a team looking for a right handed bat.

The Red Sox need a 4th OF… a switch hitter can spell both Bradley and/or Castillo… a player who can play in Boston… #SuperNava

Axford is perfect fit for Padres.

Why? Padres pen is pretty stacked still, even after some trades, and they’re trying to free up money for hitters, not spend it on more pitching.

would he really cost all that much? should be a place for him in the SD pen

8th, 9th inning guys that can get outs especially strikeouts are nice to have. Reunite him with Trever Hoffman kinda + pitching half of his appearances in Petco instead of Colorado – go get him Preller

In an off-season with a half dozen closers changing teams; big miss on Bridich for not getting anything in return for Axford

“Half a dozen closers changing teams” is precisly why the Rockies couldn’t get something for Ax. They’re all better than him (he’s not really a closer, more of a $6.5m set-up man, which is pricey for nearly everyone).

He will end up with a closing opportunity, and no reason he couldn’t have been dealt as late as August.

The braves could use axford. Good veteran presence in a young inexperienced bullpen

Nava though a key contributor in 13 he really struggled in 14-15 thus being dfa’d so I don’t see a reunion happening with him . I’d guess Rajai Davis who has ties with both DD and Farrell will be the guy I’d expect to see as a 4th outfielder

I have a couple of procedural questions about outrighting. If a player accepts an outright assignment (or lacks the seniority to reject it), how is his salary set next season? An arbitration-eligible player wouldn’t still be eligible? And, there is no barrier to a team resigning a player that rejects an outlight assignment even in the offiseason, right? I’m just thinking that outrighting seems like a better way to remove a player from the 40-man roster after the season than releasing the player, where the team cannot re-sign him until May, or waiting until the tender deadline in December and not gaining the roster spot before the Rule 5 draft
