Firesale.

Boom.

This is just the beginning

Does anyone have any idea how much cash teams get for a player of Carroll's ilk?

I believe it is up to 50K. The below doesn't exactly apply, but there are a couple other spots which seem to get to a typical value of $50K for guys on the 40 man roster.

 

5. An Article XX-B MLB free-agent who signs a Major League contract after 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series has an automatic "no trade" right through June 15th. The player can waive this right, but if he does he can be traded only for cash and/or player contracts with a maximum aggregate value of $50,000. Note that an Article XX-B MLB free-agent who signs a minor league contract after 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series does NOT receive an automatic "no trade" right, even if the player is later added to the club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).

Always found Carroll to be a feel good story and fun clubhouse character. Too bad he's a AAAA player.

Ironic, as he already won a game for Texas this year

Well played and true. Thank God he's finally out of the organization.

Was really happy for Scott, was rooting for him to get the MLB pension. Aside from this year, he maxed out himself for this org. Got the most out of his talent.

Now the Charlotte Knights will fall apart.

Hope we can put the $50 to good use

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Once again, Hahn and KW fail the fans by not getting true market value for Carroll. Is Brinson for Carroll to much to ask for? WTF!

Bummer. My favorite long reliever of all time.
