I'd love for Cano to be here, but I don't think the Yanks will trade him. But I agree, though. Put in the claim and see what happens. you cant "claim" players that have passed through waivers here's a link on the whole process You can put in a claim on him which gives the Yankees the option of withdrawing him, trying to arrange a trade with the claiming team, or just letting him go to the claiming team. I don't see any harm in making a claim to see what happens after that. I'm sure the Yankees would withdraw him or ask an outrageous package for him, but it wouldn't hurt (or cost anything) to try. it's not that hard to understand. if a player has cleared waivers, it means that every team had a chance to claim him and did not.
