Exactly I’m going to go with that he wasn’t. 

Gonna go with Roch on this one as there's no reason to not believe what he reports. But feel free to keep spreading misinformation.

If he had been claimed by two teams and the Orioles were pursuing trades you would have heard. So. Wait until 8 when he is non-tendered.

Wow, someone calling Roch a flat out liar.

That was not a team announcement.

It was leaked. That has also been reported by Roch.

Strike 2.

Roch will never flat out lie but he'll spin and toe the line.

From Roch's post today:

For what it’s worth, the Orioles didn’t announce Villar’s placement on waivers. It leaked and became public.

It was a terrible flap in Texas, where they had to deal with Kinsler and Profar  and Andrus. Kinsler refused to move off of second base, and they refused to trade Profar. They eventually traded Kinsler to Detroit for Prince Fielder so that Profar could play, and then Profar was terrible. So badly handled. They eventually dumped Profar on Oakland and now he’s been shuffled to SD.

The irony here is that Kinsler is also in San Diego.  His season ended in mid-August with a herniated disc, but he’s under contract for 2020.

Roch and the beat folks reported it, no?

They were all reposting Mark Feinsand who got it from someone at another team.

Again, see Roch's post this morning. He stands by it, so we should stand by it. There's no reason not to, especially when it makes it into his blog. He most likely double-checked on it. But if you choose to spread misinformation and participate in rumor and fake news, that's your choice bud. Enjoy.

And a long fly ball, deep to right field it's on Eutaw Street.  The Orioles never announced or confirmed this. It was everyone retweeting each other.

I agree. I believe he has been on waivers.

You misread me. So you can retract that. Bud. Now.

What I said and have said all along is the the ORioles never announced him on waivers or confirmed it to the press.

How did I misread you? You claimed it hadn't been reported, it had. You're saying you didn't believe Roch, that it was just a RT, but then it ended up in his blog and he confirmed it was leaked. 

So you either think Roch is a liar, or you can't be bothered to do your research. 

Not every bit of news is reported by the team, we know this.
