McKenna, Maton clear waivers, Nevin claimed

[AlbNYfan]

So, McKenna takes AB's away from who?? Are the O's still stuck with his 775K (not sure the exact amount) salary?

He signed a 1 year $800k deal instead of going to arbitration. I believe under the recent CBA, players in his situation still receive that salary even if sent to the minors. 

The Norfolk outfield situation is crowded alright.

The A's claimed Nevin but not McKenna?  Okay...

I'm glad Nevin got claimed and McKenna cleared.  Does the team really need Nick Maton anywhere in the system at all?

Maton will probably play some 1B at AAA.

It is and I'd really not like to see McKenna taking away PAs from Kjerstad, Stowers or Norby.

Hopefully those guys are still full-timers and McKenna just shares CF and 4th OF duties with Burdick and Daniel Johnson. Though I see Stowers started at CF the past two days.

I'd rather them give my playing time to Burdick then McKenna. They know what they have in McKenna.

Looking at their roster, their 1b and corner OF guys are all lefties. So I guess they like Nevin's ability to do both of those things.
