Wood Activated, Eyre DFA'd

[Derwood]

If Eyre wanted to, could he accept the assignment and go to Iowa until September 1st?

 

Or would the MLBPA prevent him from doing that?

 

I think you have to use the DFA method and expose him to waivers in order to get him to the minors.

 

Eyre will be traded, probably for a PTBNL in the next 10 days. If not, somebody will claim him in the waiver process.

 

Zero chance anyone claims Scott Eyre off waivers.

100% chance someone does.

 

Shall I say it again for emphasis?

 

No one is going to take on a $1+ million commitment for two months of a mediocre (at best) relief pitcher who has a very real chance of being horrible.

 

sure they will

 

looks like someone is taking on that salary.

 

see, i'm not wrong all the time ;)
