The Braves announced that they have claimed right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Athletics and fellow righty Anthony Molina off waivers from the Rockies. There wasn’t any previous indication the players were on the wire but it seems the A’s and Rockies wanted to open roster spots, perhaps for the Rule 5 draft next week, and put these guys out there. Atlanta had one 40-man spot available and opened another by designating left-hander Josh Walker for assignment.
More to come.
Neither player will make it to spring training on Atlanta’s roster.
They will be among some of the first casualties to get kicked to the curb.
WTH?
Seems today is the day that teams are claiming other team’s crap…
Same thing as last year. Spend some money and stop dumpster diving.
It’s barely December, how many top free agents are off the board? February is the time to worry. Literally every single team does waiver claims just like this, it’s a part of the game. It will be ok
Heck yeah claiming negative war players from the best teams. AA, you okay buddy?
Isn’t the Gwinnett roster filled out yet?? Maybe AA is working on the Rome roster now.
