Mark Reynolds DFA (UPDATE:Yankees signed him)

[Guest]

What's the timetable on Reynolds? Does he become a free agent this weekend?

Think he can sign anywhere now if I'm reading this right.

I think they have 10 days to trade or release him. What was it 5 days ago that he was DFAed? He has another 5 days to go.

He was given his released yesterday, the DFA is no longer in effect.

Well I guess that means the Indians had zero interest from teams willing to pick up his full salary. That would be less than 2 million at this point.

Not sure it would cost even that, just the league minimum for a veteran and prorated for the last two months.

If someone traded for Mark they would have had to pay his salary. The fact that they released him early tells me no one was even inquiring about him.

There is a lot of disinformation in this post. If someone traded for Mark, they could have got Cleveland to eat the rest of his salary or a significant portion of it. If someone claimed him, then they assume all of his remaining salary. They released him early because it was clear no one was going to give up value in a trade or claim him, so what sense is there to drag it out. The sooner he signs somewhere else, the less they pay. But that doesn't mean no one inquired.

If someone traded for him and were only willing to pay half his salary that still would work out better for the Indians than just releasing him.

They also didnt try waiting out the whole 10 days, they went ahead and released him, so they are paying him for the rest of this year, for not playing. Which tells me, they think he has no productive value left in him.

Could there be another team that needs a DH more than us? At league minimum I guess it only comes down to a roster spot.
