Zuckerman has now completely back-tracked on his comment about the Cubs receiving cash from Washington. Looks like the Nats are indeed sending a player.
So, PTBNL for PTBNL. Rizzo gets lucky, looks stupid.

The Nationals acquired DeJesus on Monday in a trade that was essentially a straight waiver claim, and then promptly placed him on revocable waivers, a standard move. Other teams were interested in DeJesus before the Nationals claimed the veteran outfielder on waivers, so it’s only logical contenders would still have interest in adding the left-handed hitter.
I also can't link Kilgore's piece, but he says the same. No player or cash (outside of waiver fee) to Cubs.

WaPo seems to be the only outlet reporting it was cash (straight waiver claim) although I tend to trust a guy like Kilgore more than Chastain.

He does call it a 'waiver trade' which is incorrect terminology.
Official Nationals site also has PTBNL: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...s_was&c_id=was
We'll see, I guess.

Rizzo should probably just search for glass bottles and then turn them in for the 5 cents recycling incentive. Seems like a better use of time.
DeJesus is wearing #7, Batting 7th and playing LF (7) tonight for the Rays.... apparently they want his nickname to be "Lucky 7's".
Now, from the recently aforementioned Jimmy Bowden:
JimBowdenESPNxm: Nationals get DeJesus from Cubs for waiver claim cost…then turn him into a 22-year old LHP prospect as Rays take full salary/contract back [http://twitter.com/JimBowdenESPNxm/s...00046319173633]
So Bernadina for that Rays prospect is basically all that happened here at the end of the day?
