Michael Taylor PLEASE!

I don't think they meant that there would be a future transaction to replace Matt. They meant that because it's not official the transaction is not official.

Michael Taylor PLEASE!

 

"While the precise transaction that will result has yet to be reported, it seems likely that he will ultimately hit the waiver wire."

 

Don't get your hopes up. People just don't know if it's a straight up release or a DFA

Probably DFA

 

Gives time to trade, option to minors or release

DFA according to TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=447394

 

"In another roster move, outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo, who was claimed off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks last week, has been designated for assignment."

The plan must be to try to get him to the minors. I don't really see the point of his acquisition otherwise.

[NorthOf49]

Hey, he cleared!

[TDotttt2005]

AAs plan worked

 

At least he's turned the Bisons into a powerhouse.

Nice depth for AAA.

[SAAviour]

Nice job by AA.

[BlueJaysGirl]

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here, but I think this is really a good move. He's had some good numbers and would be a good replacement in case of injury.

[KSaw]

Has to be sincere. Good depth move.

With Pillar and Gose at Buffalo was it worth the cost of Perez?

[flafson]

I honestly wonder how the waivers work. The last comment we had was that he's not going to make the team, what will happen of him is hush hush. A few days go by and what do you know, not only that he was placed on waivers, he also cleared.

Sounds like some locked basement that AA has a spare key and he goes there at night when no one is looking.

[BlueJaysGirl]

So AA acquired a AAA-caliber player to play at AAA. I guess you take your victories where you can.

 

[The_DH]

If the move was to get aaa filler I'd say it was not good. If for a major league 4th of then probably worth it.

I believe Perez requested release.

 

I want to believe that that is the case. He probably saw the flexibility clusterf*** that is our bullpen and realized that he most likely wasn't going to be part of it (at least at the start) and wanted to go elsewhere.
