I disagree
I don't think he will pass through waivers. If it as just the matter if Salary dump they would have moved him at the deadline.
He will get claimed very easily. Adding Shields will at least cost one of Pompey or Alford.
Hutch is one of those pitchers that still.has a step.forward to take. When he takes it and has that big year people around the league will wonder where he came from.
This year though skip him as much as possible
