What do you want him to do if offers for Colome aren't what they want? Take the best "meh" offer of the group?

Plenty of teams could still use him.

Nationals getting 3 guys should make the Phillies desperate. Right?

One hour left.

And you basically knock out half the teams when it comes to Collins since I don't think anyone believes he will stick at C.

People are quickly going from "only trade him for a great offer" to "what the fuck, they didn't trade him." It takes two teams to make a deal.

September is fine with expanded rosters and bullpens are 10-12 deep. It's really just the next month.

Just glad we're done wasting money on him. Now they won't be tempted to pick up his option only for him to miss the entire season again.

Erick Thames having a solid year for them.

Yeah fucking hysterical haha

Doesn't want to rehash convo. Tags guy he had convo with. ?

Yes, the decision is ultimately letting him go for nothing, releasing him or trading him....while on waivers. Edit: In the bolded, you're confusing that with the old August trade waivers.

Ha, I never said that the claim had to be immediately. Just that they can be traded while in the waiver period.

Traded for Martin Maldonado.

The 19-year old is having a great year (granted, he's in like, rookie ball).

Well, the rules have changed since we signed Robert, we were in the penalty box the first 2 years and we traded off our slot money those years because we couldn't spend over $250k (I think the amount is right, can't remember) on one player so it always made sense.

I could see a Jay + cash or Nova + cash deal, but not bringing anything significant back.

Exactly.

That deal is basically nothing, ha. Considering the poster posted after the Jones trade, I kinda meant anymore activity.

50/50 it seems. I expect nothing.

Someone could always pop up before next July. Maybe not a great prospect but someone you could at least spend the money on.

It would seem so White Sox for this to happen. I still would only deal him for a high price though.

It means they probably don't plan on using it.

I didn't think they would pick up his option for next year so this is good.

Easy. Eloy LF, Engel CF, Leury in RF. AJ Reed (unfortunately) DH. Infield: Goins, Anderson, Yolmer if Moncada can't play. Edit: also possible Tilson is on his way to Chicago just in case.
