Good he’s garbage
billymayshere
Giants should put a claim in on him, put him in sac and rework his mechanics
Steve Adams
He’s out of minor league options. He can’t go to the minors without first clearing waivers, so they’d have to claim him and either carry him on the roster or DFA him a second time, hoping he clears waivers.

Same here…
drgntrnr
Out of options. Most likely candidates to pick him up are teams that are in full tank mode, rather than trying to contend.

So, Padres.

Eheheh. Put him in the sac. Eheheheheh

Braves should claim him, then dfa him and hope he clears waivers, no risk involved.

The risk involved is they would have to clear a 40-man spot by DFA’ing someone else on the current 40-man (unless, of course they already have a spot open, but I don’t know if they do or not)

How bad is Rajai’s hamstring? BoMel said 1-2 days rest, now he’s on the DL.
redsfan48
I think every single player I’ve seen with a hamstring injury this year has gone on the DL, and that’s probably because of the fact that it’s only 10 days instead of 15 now.

Don’t understand why A’s would take LaMarre over claiming Leonys Martin unless it’s purely tanking or salary driven. There are better waiver wire fodder options than the unimpressive LaMarre.
redsfan48
They assume Davis will be on the DL for the minimum probably. Not worth claiming Martín unless they plan to keep him on the ML roster long-term. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the A’s would be on the hook for the remainder of the salary for the season unless they DFA him again AND someone claims him again.

$4 million reasons why they didn’t pick up Martin
ReverieDays
Why spend the money on a guy who hasn’t hit at all when LaMarre will cost way less and also not hit?
Phillies2017
Couldn’t a team claim Alcantara and immediately put him on waivers?
redsfan48
Yes they could
T206
Reds should, we need all the arms we can get for this long season ahead
arc89
Timing is everything because end of spring training somebody would have picked him. now teams are full and not worth a 25 man spot after his poor showing this month.

Leonys Martin & money for Alcantara makes too much sense.
Although maybe AZ would offer the A’s Hazelbaker for Alcantara now Miller is gone for the year, as least to recover the depth lost by whoever replaces him.
