The waiver claim kings have struck again. The Blue Jays announced today they've claimed lefty Aaron Laffey off waivers from the Mets, transferring shortstop Jose Reyes to the 60-day DL. Laffey had been designated for assignment by the Mets on Sunday.
Laffey tossed 100 2/3 big league innings for the 2012 Jays, but lose his 40-man roster spot in October and later joined the Mets on a minor league deal. The 28-year-old made four appearances for the Mets this year.
The Blue Jays have been the most active team on the waiver wire, as recently pointed out by our own Steve Adams. MLBTR's Charlie Wilmoth recently asked if excessive adds and drops this season should lead baseball to reevaluate the way that the waiver system works.
