August Acquisitions

[italianocubsfan7]

Any potential guys we can acquire through waivers, or are we done now? I wouldn't mind getting Brian Giles. Also, if you hear of anybody put on waivers or anybody that does get traded, it can go here.

Players who clear waivers aren't announced, so it's doubtful we'd know about it.

Gammons and his ilk usually report on guys who cleared.

Giles has been claimed on waivers meaning he likely won't be dealt.

Well, it is possible that we claimed him, but I'm guessing that a contending team with a worse record in the NL claimed him as well (and has precedence over us) like the Cards or the Mets.

I can't see Giles slipping past the Mets.

I can't see Giles slipping past the Mets.

 

Yeah... no way they let him go. I also can't see the Cardinals letting that happen.
