Harvey and Hamilton Irrevokable Waivers

[CJD]

Well, they're revocable waivers, so now the three options (one of which must be chosen by the Reds within 48 hours, which is like 8 hours from now) are 1. give the player (and their salary) to the claiming team 2. Trade the player to the claiming team or 3. remove the player from waivers and maintain their contract and salary.

Harvey I could actually see them just giving him away. While it will only save them around a million dollars at this point, it doesn't actually hurt anything and plus opens up space for the young starters to...hopefully?...improve?...At least a little bit?... He is gone at the end of the season anyway, so this is their last chance to get anything for him. So maybe the Reds keep him just out of spite, but I could see it going either way.

Hamilton will require a trade though. He is still their starting CF and he has another year of control left. I don't think they'd just give him away. But, at the same time, it wouldn't really take all that much to get him either. We'll just have to wait and see.

In my opinion, I hope Harvey is off the roster tomorrow, whether it be for something or not. This charade has gone on long enough.

As for Hamilton, if they can get a modest return, that'd be great. If he stays on the team, then that's okay too.
