Placing a player on outright waivers does not directly remove him from the 40 man, so the club probably wouldn't make the announcement until he is formally removed from the roster either via claim or by clearing waivers and being outrighted off the roster.

iWiN4PreP Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 SWERVE THE SOX GO OUT AND SIGN STEPHEN STRASBURG IN A MONSTER DEAL AND THIS PLACE ERUPTS. No, but I do hope tomorrow brings us some good news. Idgaf about any of these twitter rumors since last year they epicly failed so hard, but yeh, Yolmer being non-tendered or what not does offer logical smoke. Could absolutely be nothing as well.

Right, but that doesn't really answer my question. If teams never confirm when a player is placed on waivers, and only confirm it when that player is formally removed from the roster, then why would Merkin feel the need to add that sentence with the word "although" in front of it?

Chicago White Sox Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 One crazy thing about adding Wheeler is how many high velocity pitchers our rotation would have. Here’s where our guys ranked last year in terms of fastball velocity: #04 - Wheeler - 96.7 #09 - Lopez - 95.5 #15 - Giolito - 94.3 ** - Cease - 96.6 (would rank 5th) ** - Kopech - 95.9 (would rank 7th) Realistically we could have three guys in the top 5 assuming Kopech’s velocity returns to normal plus one more in the top 10 and another in the top 15. Stuff wise, no other organization would come close to having this many starters at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average fastball velocity was only 92.1 last year, so he would ranked around 40th for qualified pitchers or 70th with a 100 inning requirement.
