Anyone they want to move has to pass through waivers. Far better to wait for the offseason and take their time then. [103] What moves do they have?

That wouldn't make a lot of sense. He does provide maybe a couple of WAR per season, and he's likely to be a better pitcher than Nova, I'd guess. Maybe they could trade him and swallow part of his salary, but he has a partial no-trade clause. [90] What, cut him? That wouldn’t make a lot of sense.
