Tyson Ross, Jordan Lyles Claimed On Trade Waivers

By Connor Byrne | August 5, 2018 at 11:15am CDT

11:15am: One of Ross’ teammates, righty Jordan Lyles, has also been claimed, Dennis Lin of The Athletic tweets.

10:49am: An unknown team has claimed Padres right-hander Tyson Ross on revocable trade waivers, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. The Padres have 48.5 hours from the time of the claim to trade Ross to the unidentified team, pull him off waivers or allow him to go to the claiming club for no compensation.

[RELATED: How August Trades Work]

As the rules dictate, Ross first would have had to go through waivers in the Padres’ league, the NL. Given Ross’ affordability (he has approximately $500K left on his $1.75MM salary), it seems unlikely that the 31-year-old would have gotten past every other NL club without being claimed.

With the rebuilding Padres not in contention for a playoff spot, Ross looked like a strong candidate to end up on the move prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. He stayed put, though, perhaps because of a rough July in which he logged an 8.87 ERA with matching strikeout and walk rates of 5.79 per nine across 23 1/3 innings.

On the whole, Ross has offered passable production this year, having pitched to a 4.45 ERA/4.55 FIP with 7.81 K/9, 3.79 BB/9 and a 43.8 percent groundball rate over 123 1/3 frames. Given the serious arm troubles the former front-line starter dealt with in recent years, his performance this season has been more impressive than it looks on paper.

Although Ross has functioned solely as a starter through 22 appearances this year, it’s possible a playoff-contending claiming team would have interest in deploying him out of its bullpen. He does have prior experience as a reliever, after all, and may be better equipped to function in that role down the stretch. Ross has declined substantially this year when going through teams’ batting orders multiple times. His ERA jumps from 2.59 the initial time through to 4.47 on the second and a whopping 7.62 on the third. Ross has also held opposing lineups to a paltry .170/.284/.308 line when facing them for the first time.

Of course, before figuring out whether Ross will finish the season as a starter or reliever, we’ll have to see which uniform he puts on the next time he takes the hill. In what may go down as his final outing as a Padre, Ross threw five innings of three-run ball in a loss to the Cubs on Friday.

          The Astros, A’s, Yankees and Red Sox have the entire NL and all the rest of the AL with first dibs, no way Ross goes to an AL contender.

          I don’t know about Brewers, Phillies, or Braves. I’m thinking the Cardinals would grab him first. With Wacha and Martinez on the DL, they’re gonna need another arm. And there’s the alert. It’s the Cardinals indeed.

    Oakland seriously has a laughable rotation but the 4th best record in MLB, Ross upgrades Anderson but Im not sure the Mariners will let him pass to them.

      Problem for Oakland is they would be one of the last teams to be able to claim him. I bet the Giants would claim him because their GM actually thinks they can still compete even with Cueto having TJS.

          True but your GM doesn’t want to rebuild when there is opportunity to do so. he worries more about ticket sales than trading expiring contracts.

      This isn’t waivers like sending someone to the minors. Almost every player gets placed on waivers in August. They don’t mean a thing. They knew someone was going to claim him. They can simply say nope and he remains on the team or they can trade him only to that team. If he went unclaimed and passed through then they can trade him anywhere. So it’s not a black eye for the Padres at all.

        Knowing they weren’t going to see him clear waivers they should’ve tried harder to trade him prior to the deadline. Anything would’ve been better than nothing.

    Too many NL teams are still in the race for a cheap starting option like Ross to go to an AL team. Would be shocked if teams like Colorado, LA, Milwaukee, or Pittsburgh didn’t put in a claim here.

    Get it done Preller! Tyson Ross to any other team for their most flavorful pack of chewing gum. Then call up one of your near ready MLB prospects and give them a 2 month stint in the rotation. Give us something to look forward to! Nix…. Paddack…. even Kennedy. SOMETHING!

      Kennedy was called up and will be in the rotation. Reliever Trey Wingenter, with a 100 mph fastball, will be in the bullpen.

      Preller didn’t have to get anything done. The third option is to let the claiming team have the player for free. With the Padres losing 32 of 42, it’s time to toss the veterans and bring up the kids.

    Figured as much. He’s too cheap to clear waivers.
    Unless Preller intends to QO Ross, he better work out a trade or just let them have him.

      Tyson has done better than expected this year. However, I find it hard to expect a QO being extended to him. They will probably valued in the 17M range, which is ten times what he made this year and more than backend starters with similar track records dream of making.

      There’s no room in the minors for the kind of prospects Ross is worth, and the Padres aren’t ready yet to pick up major league bench/utility players. The farm is loaded, and with so many prospects almost ready, Ross’ 40-man roster spot is more valuable than anyone they could have gotten for him.

      With the top-rated farm, there’s no room for the kind of players the Padres would have taken in past years. That makes trades impossible. Veterans have to be let go to open up room for the influx of kids, the next stage of the team rebuild.

        They can now hold onto Javy Guerra and his 3-year experiment to see if he can hit over .200 in a hitter’s league. But, he was a Preller trade, so they have to give another 3-4 years to prove himself. Or Raffi Lopez and his .170 average.
