If a player is Designated for Assignment, is that similar to reconcilable waivers, meaning, if a player is DFA'd, and then claimed, the player's current team can simply turn him over to the new team OR work out a trade?

Because you cannot make a trade without exposing them to waivers it is pretty much the same right now, but they have 10 days to do something. But before the deadline being DFA'd doesn't neccessarily mean you will hit the waiver wire.

IF they are DFA'ed the team has ten days to make a roster move, which would include placing a player on waivers to see if they can clear waivers and be re-assigned. However, since he will likely not clear waivers the Marlins can work out a deal with the team that claims him or pull him back. If they pull him back they can place him on waivers again, though they would be irrevocable. Since the non-waiver trade deadline has passed, their options are to place him through waivers or to release him.

If you DFA a player, I do not believe you can recall them from the waiver wire. I believe they are put onto irrevocable waivers with the intention of re-assignment or release.

Once a player is pulled back he can't go on waivers again

So how does it work when, say, a team claims a player and then supposedly those the team that waived the player and the team that claimed him "Try to work out a deal" (so that the waiving team just doesn't pull him back). Do they just let the claiming team keep the waived player and they agree in a side deal for the claiming team to send player X after the season? Of does the waived player have to pass through waivers again?

Once a player is pulled back he can't go on waivers again

 

He can go back on waivers, but he is then put on irrevocable waivers and can no longer be pulled back. If it's a particularly good player, you do not want to lose them for nothing, so you will not see that happen.

They can work a trade or the team that waived him let's the player go for nothing, but the claiming teanm takes on the full contract. Like the sox with Rios. If the player clears waivers he can be traded anywhere.

Your right. I was confused, thanks for clearing that up

I think you were getting at that, just wanted to clarify that it's not against the rules that a player be put back on waivers, just that most of the time, they aren't.

Cubs have claimed Jacob Turner on waivers and gave the rights

I knew that would happen

Why would the Rockies not give him a shot?

He's out of options, but even if they picked him up and he was horrid, they could always try to send him down expose him to waivers and someone would take him off their hands.

 

They just must think he's toast.

Well, the Rockies and Rangers are the only teams with a worse ERA than the Sox right now.

 

Is Turner an extreme flyball pitcher?

Why would the Rockies not give him a shot?

 

 

In the 7th inning last night, the Cubs scored 3 runs on zero hits, zero errors, and six walks from 3 different pitchers (including Nick Masset). How do you not being any live arm you can?

Cubs acquire Turner for 2 low A pitchers

Even Olbermann of ESPN mentioned Turner last night, making him sound like the second coming.

Cubs acquire Turner for 2 low A pitchers

So low A pitcher don't have to clear waivers?

If they are not on the 40 man roster... no.
