If the cubs brass weren't a bunch of pussies they could put Lee on waivers. Someone may take him and there is no such thing as a no waive clause.

They can put him on waivers all the want and he isnt going anywhere. Stop dreaming.

All I can do is dream. Unfortunately the reality is that Lou will pencil him in every last lineup card he fill out before he heads into his retirement.

This GM in Washington is truly a douchebag.

Go get him Kenny.... when it's your turn of course. What a fucked up rule. Trade season never really ends.

I suspect Kenny wants to call Shenanigans on Rizzo for the Jackson deal, but he's holding his tongue.

Rizzo was on with B&B yesterday and he is one snarky SOB. Said he said there was one name he needed in the deal from Day 1 and Kenny wouldn't budge on it .... draw your own conclusions, but I'm 99% sure it was Beckham.

As would every other manager around. There are no better options right now.

Dunn is going to want multiple years. He won't accept arbitration.

I don't know about that - he might. Would he take 1 year for $16-$18 million or would he take a 3 year deal at $12-$14 million? I guess it depends on how badly he wants to stay in Washington.

WRONG

So there is a no waive clause?

I think everyone forgets that Rizzo got a top talent in Wilson Ramos for Matt Caps, who was a free agent nothing type guy.

The Nats are loaded with some GREAT talentcoming up and Rizzo is assembling only MLB talent, not hopeful MLB talent. Thus he wanted Beckham or Viciedo and Kenny didnt want to give them up? Thats fine, but who made Kenny the market maker on deals , on what is FMV?

Also, I am sure the Nats and everyone else loved Edwin in June. I loved Edwin Jackson is June when he was on my Roto squad. Go and look at his 4 starts in June , then a bad start, then the No hitter, then 3 or 4 bad starts. I ended up cutting the guy!

and why is everyone crying Dr Don will 100% solve everything. Edwin will have ZERO bad Outings!

So there is a no waive clause?

As a Sox fan, who saw a lot of Jackson in Detroit, I feel sick to my stomach thinking about this guy as a long term starter for my team. He is a guy with sort of electric stuff, but his command sucks shakes' sack.

The thing the Sox were missing when Peavy went down was a starter who can bring some heat. I think facing a guy like that in a series is important as it gives batters something else to think about. I'm not going to miss Daniel Hudson and his pedestrian stuff.

I'm pretty sure the player can invoke his no trade clause to block a waiver deal.

If a team chooses to trade him yes but if a team claims a player off waivers and the team decides to just give him away, it's the same as a release. See Alex Rios.
