Where does it say that Verrett has to pass through waivers to be traded for?

It doesn't. Anywhere that I see. He has to pass through waivers to be offered back to the Mets. Then they can trade his rights to the Orioles. Or take him back and trade him somewhere else. Or keep him. Their prerogative.

Just so I get this straight. In order for the O's to trade Matusz to the Mets for Verret, he must first pass through waivers?

I have read through the major league rules and I see no statement that supports that.

The O's are not returning Verret. They are trading for him. Waivers are not needed to make a trade this time of the year.

He is not the Mets' property to trade, he is an Oriole. How can the Mets trade a player who is not on their team? To return him to the Mets so he can be claimed or traded, or, to trade a player to them to induce them to forfeit their right to claim him, he must first pass through waivers.

They may not trade for Verrett without passing him through waivers. 100 percent.

This is 100 percent.

This is my understanding and I believe what wildcard is saying as well.

Like I said. 100 percent. Must pass through waivers as a rule 5 before being offered back or being traded for. Now, or later. This is not my research. So no need to debate it.

If I misspoke before so be it. It is written the way it is here.

It seems to me we are talking about several different situations here. If the O's want to return Verret to the Mets, he must first pass through waivers. If they want to trade him to another team, they don't have to waive him, but the other team must keep him on their 25 man. If the O's want to trade Matusz to the Mets for Verret and then use an option to send him to their MiL, they must first pass him through waivers?

Yes, All three correct.

Houston drafted Jason Garcia in the Rule 5 draft this year. They traded him to the O's for cash. He didn't need to pass through waivers to be traded.

Absolutely. And we can trade either of them without passing through waivers. We just can't trade for either of them. Without. And if Garcia is returned, he does not get returned to Houston. He goes back to the Red Sox.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
