Here are today’s notes on players placed on revocable waivers:
- The Dodgers recently placed outfielder Yasiel Puig on waivers, but pulled him back after he was claimed by an unreported team, ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark reports on Twitter. It’s obviously no surprise that Puig was claimed, even though he has not been produced as expected this year, or that the claiming team was unable to work out a deal with Los Angeles. The news does mean that Puig can no longer be traded this season, as any attempt to do so would require the Dodgers to expose him again to waivers without the right to claw back his rights.
Most players around the league are placed on revocable players during the month of August, though relatively few are reported. For more on the process, check out MLBTR’s August trade primer.
So now we will stop hearing Puig trade rumors? Oh, sure.
At least until the offseason
Puig needs a place to humble him into the ball player everyone expects him to be, Like Twins, Brewers. Plus he needs to work harder at his game, lazy
The Brewers? Haha! The team that has Braun, had Gomez, Fielder and that idiot “T-Plush”(i forget his real name) is a place that has humble players?
I guess going from a front-runner to a barrel-scraper would be humbling, yeah.
Maybe the Cuban serie national team claimed puig.
Regarding waivers, if a player is traded after clearing waivers (i.e. Nick Swisher or Michael Bourn) do they again have to clear waivers again before being flipped? Or could the Braves hypothetically flip them at any time?
Trade him to Phillies for Chase , Brown and Late Inns Refief pitcher!
Because an overpaid, underperforming 36 year old shortstop, a 28 year old guy whos only had about a month worth of success over 6 seasons and a relief pitcher not named Ken Giles for a potential superstar with the 5 tools?
Lol…
Phillies just rid of their drama by dealing Pap. They don’t want to have to deal with young stupidity.
Media-driven.
100 bucks it was the Padres
