Might be wrong but I believe that the waiver claim would be fully revocable, just like the waiver. So, a claim would not necessarily mean another club is willing to take on his entire remaining contract without any relief from us.

Bear in mind, not that this would be the case with Jimmy, sometimes teams make August waiver claims just to block other teams from getting someone. Oh, and SIAP but "DFA" =/= outright release. A player who has been designated can be traded.

I don't think that a waiver claim is revocable. If you claim someone, then he's yours unless the other team revokes the waiver. That's why Ubaldo is sure to pass through waivers--nobody would want to be saddled with his contract.

A claim absolutely means that the other team takes on all of the commitment. There is no "blocking and then pulling back." Anyone who thought otherwise is not aware of how this works.

Who the heck is this guy? "Cervenka" sounds like a Russian beer. Ewwww.

The Marlins already optioned Cervenka to AAA. Yankees signed LHP Tommy Layne. B.Oberholtzer got claimed by the LAA. Lots of relievers, especially LH's, on the move through the waiver wire. Not just trades.

It's going to be hard for us to pick up a lefty with such bad waiver position. Which is a good thing. Hopefully the Rockies put Mcgee and Logan through for trades.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .

      At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
