Does he even have testosterone?
Wonder why we claimed him rather than try to sign him. Don't think the Dodgers would have claimed him...?

He’s getting Gausman’s money, as it were.
At the very least, this is a sign Gausman’s waiving wasn’t necessarily a reflection of dire financial position.

I was afraid this would happen, and really hoping it wouldn't. Snitker will absolutely overuse him (which is actually really easy to do in his case, as it just entails allowing him to touch a bat even once).
$1.9MM for 36 games of a defensive late inning replacement?
Hamilton can't hit himself out of a wet paper bag.
Not a bad move as long as he doesn't get any ABs.

You do assume the remaining contract. So the Braves are on the hook for the remainder of his $5+m deal plus $1m buyout...(mutual option after this season)
I was wondering more of when teams have to actually put the claim in and what order that happens in...I know it goes in order of team with the worst record in their league to best record, then same for the other league.

Any reason to think this indicative of ender not making it back for the playoffs?
Wow. I guess Webb’s injury was worse than we thought. Explains why he wasn’t up here yet.
We're down to, like, a fifth-string outfield at this point. A warm body that can play center is kind of a necessity.
This feels like a flexibility move that Anthopoulos had in his back pocket. As such, it’s also illustrative of the FO’s estimations re Parsons—that he was DFA’d for Hechavarría, when this move was on the table, demonstrates there wasn’t much hope he’d contribute to the major-league roster.

i called our picking him up and placing a pitcher on the 60-day DL in the other thread. i thought we might wait till he was released to do so though. Funny it happened hours after my post today about it, lol.
