Not many "record breaking" signings in this team's history to not have one. Maybe waiting for a second big fish to land. There was a conference call for Grandal. No presser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox rarely used their rule 5 pick even when they were at the early stages of their rebuild. I don’t think they’ll start now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just kind of wanting to clarify: what is the significance of a team announcement on Yolmer vs. not announcing? And it takes 48 hours to finalize what is actually happening with him, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it takes 48 hours to finalize what is actually happening with him, right? It does take 48 hours. In my opinion, I don't think there is much to announce with regard to Yolmer until another team claims him or he clears and thereby removed from the 40 man. The fact that he was placed on waivers in and of itself doesn't necessarily call for a press release. The Burr news though one would think would be corresponding move to adding someone to the 40 man. Unless the Sox really think DFAing him now gives him a higher liklihood of clearing waivers - but not sure how doing that now versus when the next MLB signing is announced changes much.

I do think doing the DFA right before Thanksgiving when teams have filled up their rosters for the rule 5 draft makes sense as a way to get a guy through waivers. Is the rule 5 draft on the Thursday of Winter Meetings week? Because that's just about 10 business days away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see that being possible so I dont think this has anything to do with the Rule 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
