Padres- get rid of Zach Lee off the 40 man roster or kevin quackenbush

Quackenbush needs to go, he is mediocre. Preller will always take the former top prospect when they become available via waivers. I’d keep Lee because this MLB rotation needs as many reinforcements in AAA as possible.
You have to figure that if any one of the 3 in Weaver, Chacin and Richard perform well than they will be dealt by the deadline, they have all been injured to some extent the last couple of years so they could always spend time on the DL, just too many uncertainties to not have at least a couple warm body former top prospects waiting in the wings in AAA and that’s what Lee and Jenkins will be waiting for.

Between Kelly, Lamet, Rodriguez, Jenkins, Rienzo in triple a they have plenty of starter options to fill the void if/when richard, chacin, weaver are traded/cut.
I think Castro could be a good asset to develop being 22 years old.

True, don’t forget about Lockett as well.

Don’t think he can become free agent. Surely he would have options left?
layventsky
Options don’t matter if he’s being removed from the 40-man roster. Since he hasn’t been outrighted before (and doesn’t have the 5 years of MLB service time required to reject any minor league assignment), assuming he clears waivers, he’ll be outrighted. If they decide to call him up after that, they’ll need to clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster.

Missing the point. DFA is to clear the 40 man spot. Options have nothing to do with it. Someone will claim him or trade for him.

Exactly
U gamble a risk to get them off the 40. Someone either claims them or they get optioned back to triple a/double a

Angels should pick him up!
