This was posted on mlbtr at 10:49 pm yesterday:
“The Giants have placed outfielder Andrew McCutchen on revocable trade waivers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports on Twitter.
In terms of timing, it’s not entirely clear exactly when McCutchen hit the waiver wire. If the placement occurred today, though, then other clubs will have until Wednesday to place claims.
... it’s at least questionable whether any organization will place a claim on Cutch, who’ll cost around $3MM for the rest of the season before hitting free agency. The Giants, presumably, will be willing to allow him to walk if a claim is made — or, if not, for a rather reasonable price that mostly involves cost savings.”

If Dodgers claimed Harper they will claim McCutchen.
So all that's left is Smoak

Cubs got David Murphy and the Cardinals got Matt Adams. I don't really know all the ins and outs of how waiver claims work but I do know that Luhnow still has all of his orospects......we needed a bat before the end of July, he did nothing so I don't expect much now, but, I realize he is limited on what he can do now.

From what I understand of waiver position is record plus division standing equals rank of claim postion.
So we are somewhere between 3 and 5

We were discussing recently the order in which teams have a shot at claiming a waived player. I thought that when a NL player was waived all NL teams got a shot first and then all AL teams in reverse order of their final records from the previous year and if a AL team waived a player all AL teams got a shot first and then all NL teams in reverse order of their final records from the previous year. I just saw this posted on today’s chat at MLBTR: “3:15 Waiver priority on a given player is based on the standings at the time the waiver placement is processed. So if Adams was placed on waivers Sunday, Monday, whenever -- it's based on those standings. If they change during the 48-hour claiming window, that doesn't matter for that specific player. But, say the Nats put Adams on waivers Saturday and Harper on Monday -- there'd potentially be different waiver priorities for those two players despite being waived by the same team in a relatively short period of time.” If this is true, and if I understand what Jeff Todd stated correctly, apparently the order in which teams get a shot at claiming a waived player is in reverse order (by NL then AL or AL then NL depending on which league the waived player is in) based on the teams’ current season record on the day the player is waived. Under the way I thought it worked, Houston would get the last shot of all teams at any player who was waived from a NL team, and would get the last shot among AL teams at any player waived by a AL team. If I understand correctly what Jeff Todd stated, as the teams’ records stand today, Houston would get a shot at any waived player before Boston or the Yankees do. So, of the AL contenders, Cleveland and Seattle could claim a player and block Houston from making a claim, but NYY and the Red Sox could not. I’m not sure about Oakland, since the Astros and A’s have the same record today. I’m guessing the tie would be broken by comparing the 2017 records of Oakland and Houston. |

That's what I said where between 3 and 5 it all depends on when the player was waived by standing overall
If we lose we go to 4 and we 2 more times we are 5

Goodbye to Keuchel unless he accepts the QO, Marwin, Gattis, Harris, McCann .....that is a lot of money Not being spent.... A lot of talks of the Stros folks not to offer Dallas anything more than the QO. But with the shortage of starting pitching I am sure he is going to play the market. One wonders is it going to be like last season where the owners squeeze the players and it drags out. I was thinking what the Cubs did, blowing off Arrieta, and going after Darvish, a decision they are probably regretting. Darvish is now out for the season. You were right...I bet they regret signing him. |

Starlin Castro would be perfect insurance for Carlos and Altuve and push him to LF why not?
You buy him out his last year that simple.
Tell me he wouldnt be worth a shot in LF...
He cleared and can hit for average.

He cleared and can hit for average. either Smoak or Castro would be a good add. Neither one of them is the answer but both would make the line up deeper. |

He cleared and can hit for average. In his entire pro career Castro has played 9 innings in the outfield....8 in RF and 1 in CF while in the minor leagues. |

I do not think that Correa is healthy. We need to figure out what we need to do to plan around having him til next year. If he comes back great, I think he is broken for now.
