Do you think Elias will claim him again?

Was waiting for this thread and yes I do.

That said, there are injury concerns.

It doesn’t take much to find a guy who is better than our 40th man.

If you arent healthy, then you can throw the ball.

No argument there, but Mike is Seeking hidden value. He won’t touch the guy unless he thinks that he can get past the injury concerns.

The Marlins are a very badly run team, and it is possible they missed some possibilities that we will see. On the other hand, they are also a terrible team, so he would have to be pretty bad for them to dump him.

We shall see… I am just really grateful that we seem to be past the days of letting Mike Wright Hang around for years and years.

Minor league deal with ST invite, shouldnt be too costly, just remains to be seen,  another blunder by the Marlins, or just another guy who stays hurt.

A foreman issue sent him the IL on August 8th

I was wondering why a foreman would have any effect on placement...

After all the injury comments, I'm assuming it's forearm, as that would make more sense.

Well, as previously noted, wildcard has gone all-in on voice-to-text. Sucks, but explains it.

Doesn't explain your choice of the verb, "affect," instead of the needed noun, "effect," in your sentence, however.

I like it. 9+ K/9 with decent walk rate. If he is hurt, he can always go on the DL and open up a roster spot.

He had injury issues all season, go look at all the rehab stints.

But we have to keep him on our 40 man until opening day. You can’t be on the DL in the offseason. If healthy he’s a no brainer claim, but I’m guessing he’s not.

Adalberto Mejia just got DFA'd.  Could be rotation depth
