Yasiel Puig Claimed On Revocable Waivers; Likelihood Of Deal Unknown

By Jeff Todd | August 30, 2016 at 9:40pm CDT

9:40pm: USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports (via Twitter) that the White Sox attempted to claim Puig, but he did not make it to them on waivers. That would indicate that either a National League team or one of the few American League teams with a worse record than the ChiSox won the claim. Factoring in previous reports that the Marlins and Braves didn’t make the claim, the team that claimed Puig is one of the Angels, Athletics, Rays, Twins, Cubs, Nationals, Dodgers, Giants, Cardinals, Pirates, Mets, Rockies, Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Padres or D-backs. While that’s clearly an enormous slate of teams, Nightengale’s report does at least eliminate roughly a third of the teams in baseball as a possibility.

4:47pm: Neither the Braves nor the Marlins made the claim, per David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Twitter) and Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (via Twitter).

4:05pm: Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has been claimed on revocable waivers, Jon Heyman of Fan Rag reports on Twitter. It is not yet clear what organization placed the winning waiver claim — National League clubs would have priority, by inverse order of record — or whether there is any serious possibility of a transaction being worked out.

Los Angeles can, of course, simply allow the claiming team to assume Puig’s contract. Despite his struggles of late, however, it’s hard to imagine that taking place — particularly since the remaining amounts he is guaranteed ($6.5MM in 2017 and $7.5MM in 2018) represent a relative drop in the bucket for the Dodgers.

If anything, L.A. has proven more willing to spend top dollar on risky talent than have other organizations. Though the team’s up-and-down ride with Puig may have impacted its stance on the enigmatic Cuban star, he has done things at the major league level that most players can only dream of.

Puig was one of the best players in baseball in 2013 and 2014, and entered his age-24 campaign like one of the most valuable assets in the game. But he wasn’t quite up to his usual standard in 2015 and fell off even further this year. Since the start of 2016, he has accumulated 303 plate appearances of .260/.320/.386 hitting, thus earning a demotion to Triple-A.

Still, the talented 25-year-old retains plenty of appeal and looks like an intriguing upside play, especially since he is raking and drawing good marks for his clubhouse presence at the highest level of the minors. That he was claimed proves that other organizations aren’t afraid to roll the dice, but the Dodgers won’t likely give those rights away freely. We’ve heard suggestions that the team may yet call him back in September, or otherwise delay trade talks until the offseason, and there’s no indication as yet that a late-breaking August trade is particularly likely.

    I have a feeling more than one team put a claim on him. I could see the Braves, Brewers and Mariners all putting a claim on him. I keep hearing the Dodgers are trying to get Braun for a trade so I wouldn’t be surprised if Puig went to the Brewers in a package for Braun. Not straight up obviously but I seriously see that happening. If they are the team that claimed him of course. We will see.

    How long do the Dodgers have to work a trade out with the claiming team or either just let him go pull him back?

      The first claiming team with the lowest winning percentage from the NL would have the right to negotiate first. Atlanta has the worst overall record and thus would be first in line. Doubt Puig even made it to the AL teams to be claimed. If I’m not mistaken the two teams have 48 1/2 hours to work out a trade agreement, if nothing is reached then LAD can pull him back with no problem. However if they were to place him on waivers again and he was claimed they would HAVE to work something out.

    Can’t wait to hear the real reasons behind the Puig saga. Just think there’s a lot we’re not privy to here. Pretty sure that “attitude” is a euphemism for something more serious. Like in the College Football world, “violation of team rules” means “failed drug test”. No idea what this one is yet (maybe the same if all I know) but it is most definitely something…

      Correct.

      I think it was the Padres as well for all those reasons, maybe then send LA Jon Jay & either cash or a mid-level prospect or two. I don’t see San Diego giving up any top prospects for him just because they are in rebuild mode & it would make sense to stall what you have already started by moving pieces already.

    She could realistically be claimed by anyone since he would be an upgrade anywhere. I think his personality issue is a bit overblown, and the false domestic violence allegation against him didn’t help. Sure he’s streaky, but there’s currently a lot of streaky players in the league who are not nearly as good as puig, or at least with his upside

    The Padres could sell high on Schimpf, he would bring a little more pop to the Dodgers lineup & be a better alternative than Utley. Throw in Jon Jay who will be ready to play in a few weeks and that might be enough to get a deal done for Puig.

      Why would they do that? Jon Jay is more than likely gone after this year, but Schimpf has loads of control and they would give that up for two years of the Puig Show? They are more than two years away from contending…I dont see them getting him unless the Dodgers “give him away”.

      I have an immense dislike for Puig and his antics but I’m with you @rayanselmo. Under a strong, veteran manager like Bochy, a good front office and with the SF clubhouse he would be playing on a team with good veteran leaders (better chemistry). I’d take the risk on him but there’s no way The Dodgers let him go to SF, too much risk he will be energized to get his crap together just to stick it to them. Dodgers really need to get him out of their market because I think he will eventually turn it around.

He will only tear the chemistry of the other team apart so OK by me. Also why do people not realize the Yankee’s already have a surplus of out fielders on the 40 man roster and will lose more this winter in the rule 5. No need to give up a valuable roster spot to a cancerous player like him.

      @west11 – I’m sure we will never find out the full story until after maybe he’s traded, the sordid truth will only affect his trade value right now.

      As much as I can tell it’s all attitude and clubhouse chemistry. He’s tearing up the PCL and yet reports are that LA *still* won’t bring him up even with Sept call ups. My guess is that he’s a toxic clubhouse presence.

      Last year I saw him constantly make bonehead mistakes in the field or on the bases, really simple stuff that college kids wouldn’t make but he appears to have a sense of entitlement to go with him knowing that he has huge potential but too stupid to realize that in MLB you can’t get by with pure talent alone, you have to put in the work and have real baseball acumen.

        Perhaps Atlanta knows more than we do. Perhaps they decided Puig is too much a cancer in their opinion to add to the organization and risk toxifying any young impressionable players.

          Let’s see, Olivera received a $30M bonus from LAD then a year later was traded and never saw the field from them. Many questioned at the time the motivation for paying a $30M signing bonus for a player that was gone a year later. Fast forward until now, and he’s not on a MLB roster for off-the-field issues. Now, granted Puig is much more talented and younger than Olivera and doesn’t have the same off=the-field issues (i.e. domestic assault charge) that Olivera has, but Puig could be considered a wild-card any team’s clubhouse, and that’s a red flag. At least so much so that LAD are willing to let him go. That being said, I’d think ATL learned their lesson with Olivera. Clubhouse chemistry is one of the most important and sacred elements to some teams.

          It’s unclear why we hear so often that Puig is a “clubhouse problem” when the evidence for it is slim to none. This story persists even though we do know he’s got an on-field problem, his sometimes boneheaded play leading to fundamental mistakes. It has also been implied that his recent hamstring injuries are related to conditioning issues. So work ethic and focus, yes. The other stuff, probably not.

          Granted. But the narrative surrounding Puig is he’s a bad apple sort of player whose very presence poisons the clubhouse atmosphere. Probably that isn’t really the case. Quite a few players have taken him on as a mentor over the years to help him grow up with the game and into his natural talent. I am sure it frustrates those players as much as management that he hasn’t fully responded, but that doesn’t make him the clubhouse wrecker many seem to think he must be.

    My hunch is Milwaukee. Garza/Braun/ 2 prospects (PTBNL & Cash) for Puig. Brewers desperately would want to move Braun & Garza’s contracts & take a gamble on Puig.

      The Brewers have already said they want legit prospects for Braun. He would not be a salary dump so unless the dodgers are including some additional good prospects and using Puig to offset some of the money I doubt it’s the Brewers

      I actually really think that’s a possibility. I keep saying I think Puig is going to the Brewers with a package of minor leaguers for Braun.

        Mmmm I have a hard time believing it’s the Brewers. They are going to be a team with a lot of young guys next year on the roster. Is Puig really a guy you want mentoring them or being around them at all?

    Why is that in every sports website or app or even on every sports page on social media everyone loves to try to correct you? It didn’t happen to me in this comment but I always see it and wonder what makes everyone an expert? Lol

    God, you East coast sports “fans” are ignorant. Just claiming him doesn’t mean you get him, even if you’re the one with the worst record. The Dodgers can pull him off waivers with no recourse. They can negotiate with the team with the worst record that won the waiver. or they can just let him go, which they won’t, morons, as they know he has trade value.

    You can’t just “grab” him, idiots. The Dodgers have all the power here. They can pull him from waivers and he is back on their team in triple A. If they want, they can negotiate with the team that won the waiver contest (worst record NL team). They are not going to just let him go, as is evident by all the interest this guy has. They KNOW what this guy can do.

    How do waivers work again?

      A team can put anyone on waivers and some teams put everyone on waivers. It’s just a gauge of the interest. If the player clears waivers (no takers) the team can trade him. If the player is claimed, the team has several options: pull him off waivers as if nothing had happened, make a trade with the team that claimed him or just let him go to the team that claimed him and they will have to pay the remainder of his salary.

        95 % of the people on this board are aware of at least the general idea of revocable waivers, so you can do without the condescension. Judging by this comment and your response to the comment below though, I think you need some work on detecting sarcasm as well

      Well played Gogerty. Every few articles you have some sort of subtle yet funny quip. Makes these boards slightly more interesting

    ” the team that claimed Puig is one of the Angels, Athletics, Rays, Twins, Cubs, Nationals, Dodgers, Giants, Cardinals, Pirates, Mets, Rockies, Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Padres or D-backs.”

    So the Dodgers put him on waivers and then claim him? How cunning!!

      They didn’t put a claim in- they don’t need to. They can pull him off waivers and keep him if they want and don’t owe anybody anything.
