Oh what a surprise, Salty is released. He never should have been on the Jays in the first place. Maile shouldn’t be on the Jays either. There is a reason that TAMPA BAY RAYS cut him loose. Rant over.

He’s too “salty for his shirt”

An object lesson in why not to fall in love with prospects. He was considered untouchable in ATL, traded to TEX as centerpiece of Teixeira deal, and never was worth much in MLB. Certainly hung around quite a long time–credit good representation, and GM fascination with untapped potential.
The fans in ATL were certain he was going to be a superstar, and there was quite a bit of carping over the trade to Texas. But he was a bust with the Rangers, and showed only brief flashes of MLB-level talent across the subsequent years.
