Marlins claim Nick Nastrini

Featured Replies

Remember that time, that one time when Nastrini…..yea

Good for him. He needed a change of scenery 

Sox were already at 39. Anyone know why they’re clearing space?

I don't recall seeing him DFAd.  When did that happen?

Bummer.  Guessing they felt he might clear due to performance.  I liked him a good bit a year ago, but woof since. 

Why was he available to claim

He wasn't DFA.  Tried to sneak him thru, it appears.

He had to be something if he was claimed.  Designated for assignment or waivered has to be it.

Why though? I'm not missing Nastrini but feels like there should be a corresponding move regardless, no?

Probably just figured it was a good time to try to sneak him through.

We just lost our 24th ranked prospect for nothing.  For shame…

Personally, I think he has taken so few steps forward, who knows whose fault that is, that he was no longer a top 30 guy. As a reliever who can’t throw strikes, he was trending towards Org/NP level for me.

He was put on waivers in hopes he would clear.

The Parker brothers are both getting drafted and signed straight to the parent club?

There is no point in putting him on waivers if you aren't going to DFA him.  DFA at least allows you to clear him off of the 40 if he is not claimeds.

still had a better Sox tenure than Joe Kelly. 

Good. They should be more proactive in clearing out dead wood.

I have no problem with this. Nastrini has not been good in, like, ever. Also, isn't Fraser Ellard on a rehab stint?

Reinsdorf and Getz can't be DFA'd unfortunately.  I wouldn't fear a waver claim either,  

If he could throw a strike he could be pretty good. But that’s not going to happen.

If only someone would.

He was well outside the top 30 at this point.  Might not be in the top 40 in all honesty.

Career AAA innings eater that maybe gets one more shot at big league pus, er, big league paychecks as a reliever before he retires. At most.
