Waivers

[Neuby]

Andrew Heaney /Carlos Santana  first maybe useful names to hit the wire for contenders .

Any other teams trying to cut payroll before the 31st?

[Bertz]

The Rangers feel like the team to keep an eye on.  They bought at the deadline, have faceplanted in the weeks since, and to top it off Semien and Eovaldi hit the IL this week.  They have a bunch of solid pitchers in their walk year and are right on the Luxury Tax line.

What would we even want? Another Starting Pitcher perhaps? 

[Neuby]

Kelly or Corbin would be great for only cash.

I would very much be in favor of getting Kelly but I don't know where we stand in terms of claiming order. And you can see Texas still holding onto hope for a bit longer.

 Isiah Kiner-Falefa just hit the wire and probably won't make it to the Cubs spot but he'd be a useful bench bat in September,

I was interested till I saw his numbers the last 2 years and oof he really fell off a cliff.

Seems like a guy the Brewers will fix.

We might be taking a look at Carlos Santana? He and Turner really give our bench an "old and no longer good" look.

For the extra bat in Sept, I wouldn't mind. No way both him and Turner could make a playoff roster.

Where would be play in Sept?  Random pinch hitter vs LHP?

I think they would, if they signed Santana. I don’t necessarily like signing Santana, but if they did I can’t imagine they wouldn’t do it with the thought he can help in the playoffs. And I don’t see they not having Turner on the roster come playoffs after touring his team leadership all year. 

[Derwood]

He's old, yeah, but he has a 1.3 bWAR this year vs. a 0.0 bWAR for Turner. He also switch hits.

I've always liked Santana as a player but I do not know how much gas is left in the tank with him. Not a bad flyer.

Has no one pulled a Padres yet and put their entire team on waivers yet?
