Deadline Day Roster Moves

By Darragh McDonald | July 30, 2021 at 9:27pm CDT

After what was arguably the wildest trade deadline in years with dozens of deals around the league, multiple teams made follow-up roster moves. Trades end up squeezing some players off of rosters, or creating holes that need to be filled. This post will itemize the many 40-man roster moves that teams made after a dizzying array of blockbuster deals earlier in the day.

AL East

  • The Orioles claimed Ryan Hartman off of waivers from the Astros, according to Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. The 27-year-old lefty was recently designated for assignment when Brooks Raley was reinstated from the COVID-IL.
  • The Red Sox designated outfielder Marcus Wilson for assignment. The move was needed to accommodate the acquisition of reliever Hansel Robles from the Twins.
  • The Yankees announced that they designated Ryan LaMarre for assignment. The outfielder was recently selected to help the team patch some holes during their COVID outbreak.
  • The Rays designated righties Sean Poppen and Jake Reed for assignment, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. This was to create roster space after the acquisition of Jordan Luplow and DJ Johnson from earlier today.

AL Central

  • Pablo Sandoval was released by the Indians. This was just hours after he was acquired in the Eddie Rosario trade. Based on his release, it’s clear that he was only included as salary offset.
  • The Tigers selected the contract of reliever Ian Krol. The left-hander is back after being designated for assignment earlier in the week.

AL West

  • The Mariners outrighted Vinny Nittoli to Triple-A. The righty recently had his contract selected, throwing one inning before being designated for assignment.
  • The Rangers announced they were selecting the contracts of right-handers Jharel Cotton and Drew Anderson. Both hurlers signed minor league deals over the winter.

NL East

  • The Marlins selected the contracts of outfielders Bryan De La Cruz and Brian Miller. Both players are now in line to make their major league debuts. Miami designated infielder Deven Marrero and outfielder Corey Bird for assignment to create roster space.
  • As expected, the Mets officially reinstated starter Carlos Carrasco from the 60-day injured list. The righty made his team debut this evening against the Reds.
  • The Phillies designated reliever Brandon Kintzler for assignment and transferred outfielder Matt Joyce to the 60-day injured list. The moves were necessary to create roster space to accommodate Philadelphia’s three deadline acquisitions.
  • The Nationals selected the contracts of Gabe Klobosits and Adrian Sanchez, according to Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post. Klobosits, a right-handed pitcher, is a 36th round draft pick from 2017. He has no major league experience. Sanchez had a couple of cups of coffee with Washington from 2017-2019 before being outrighted in 2020 and then re-signing on a minor league deal.

NL Central

  • The Cubs selected the contracts of RHP Michael Rucker and utilityman Andrew Romine, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Rucker was picked up by the Orioles in the Rule 5 draft in 2019 but returned to the Cubs before the season started and has yet to make his major league debut. As for Romine, the 35-year-old utility man was signed by the Cubs to a minor league deal earlier this year. The Cubs also selected the contract of righty Jake Jewell prior to yesterday’s game.
  • The Brewers announced that they designated RHP Patrick Weigel for assignment. Weigel was acquired as part of the Orlando Arcia trade with Atlanta back in April.

NL West

  • The Diamondbacks claimed outfielder Jake Hager off waivers from the Mariners. This will be Hager’s fourth club on the season, having been previously designated for assignment by the Mets, Brewers and Mariners. Arizona also selected the contracts of infielder Drew Ellis and left-hander Miguel Aguilar.
  • The Dodgers announced that they claimed catcher Chad Wallach off waivers from the Marlins. Wallach was recently designated for assignment when Brian Anderson was reinstated from the IL.

    giants should pick up sandoval again and give him some of that SF sea water they feed the rest of the team.

      I thought it was sign stealing, or maybe Barry left some clear in the locker room.

      Hitters that old shouldn’t have a career resurgence in a pitchers park while everyone else can barely hit the Mendoza line

        “Hitters that old shouldn’t have a career resurgence in a pitchers park…”

        Sandoval is all of 34 years old. He’s 2 years younger than Justin Turner, 7 years younger than Pujols, 3 years younger than Jed Lowrie, 1 year younger than Carlos Santana, 2 years younger than Jarrod Dyson, 2 years younger than Stephen Vogt, 4 years younger than Yadier Molina, i year younger than Matt Carpenter, He’s only 1 year older than Paul Goldschmidt, and Kyle Seager. All play in pitcher’s parks,. and all hitting better than Sandoval.

    What is a salary offset?

      Just what it says. The Indians are simply paying Sandoval’s contract for the rest of this season. Rosario is making more than Sandoval so Cleveland is still saving money but it helps the Braves after taking on a bigger contract than Sandoval’s.

      Pablo Sandoval has a $1 million salary this year and Eddie Rosario has an $8 million salary. The Braves basically told the Indians that they could use Rosario’s bat even though it’s been so, so and he’s currently injured.

      With that in mind they said ‘we can’t give you much but we’ll take on all of his remaining salary.’ They also needed to clear a roster spot so they traded the Indians the most useless player they have (que Pablo and his big macs for breakfast). After thinking about it a little bit, they said ‘You know what? Since we’re paying the rest of Rosario’ s salary, you can pick up the rest of Panda’s tab.’ And that sir, is your salary offset.

      The Indians, being the cheap organization that they are, gladly took the deal. Then they did Sandoval a favor by cutting him loose pretty much immediately so he didn’t have to bother catching a plane. They also reportedly have him a $100 McDonald’s gift certificate to drown his sorrows. Which in all likelihood is probably a better consultation prize than actually playing for the Indians right now.

        Yeah, I guess “Indians” is right since they won’t be the Guardians until well after Panda is history in the Cleveland!

        To simplify, Atlanta isn’t adding Rosario’s contract to their payroll. They’re adding the difference between Sandoval’s contract and Rosario’s contract to their payroll.

      Maybe the Phils should switch back to the upstairs bullpen so they can hear the encouragement of the fans.

      With Eflin injured, and the bullpen needed in almost every game, the Phillies lack starting options. Vinny is starting because there’s no one else.

      @giants51

      Yeah ‘for sure he can’t’. I mean he gets 1 AB here and there, so given regular AB’s how do you know he can’t hit, yet you expect him to go up to the plate when he gets an AB every now and then and go 1-1 every time. It is amazing what some of you so called fan experts watch and see, and how you actually analyze players performances based on a PH here and there. Laughable and ridiculous.

    Pablo Sandoval has made over $116 million at age 34 and, with 12 years of service time, qualifies for the full MLB pension.

    Even if this is the end of his career, he should start posting weight loss videos on social media from his mansion’s private gym. 160 lbs. Sandoval will become the Pablo the Redeemer for those 200+ million morbidly obese U.S. Americans and generate more revenue than LeBron could ever dream of.

    I’d be remiss not to give journeyman Ryan LaMarre his props for filling in admirably in his brief stint with the club, with special thanks for his walk-off hit against the Phillies. Godspeed, sir.

      The Scherzer-Turner deal opened up a 40 man roster spot. After trading Ruiz they needed a third catcher in case Smith/Barnes got hurt and pounced on Wallach.

    The people ragging Sandoval have no clue about baseball. Tell me how many days Sandoval played where he got 3-4 ab’s each day so he could keep his eye in and his timing going. It didn’t happen, yet you want to rag a guy that got an AB every now and then and expect him to bat 1.000 each time he got an AB to PH. How laughable.
