Nationals even mess up waiver claims

Rizzo for GM of the year! Lol. Stupid waiver claim (they didn't think they'd get him ... be honest) and Rizzo lucked out some other team was willing to take him and his buyout next year.

I think you are wrong here. They have been after Dejesus the entire year. IT's been documented. Why would they be surprised?

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.
 
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.

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?ymd=20130823&content_id=58053108&vkey=news_was&c_id=was

We'll see, I guess.

The Nationals acquired DeJesus from the Cubs merely by assuming the remainder of his salary.

He could just hang around outside of Jim Bowden's bedroom window.

The Nationals acquired DeJesus on Monday in a waiver-wire trade with the Cubs, releasing outfielder Roger Bernadina to make room on their roster.

Not saying you are wrong, just noting the discrepancy.

The line i wrote was in the same article posted. Clearly it was a misprint earlier.
 
DeJesus is wearing #7, Batting 7th and playing LF (7) tonight for the Rays.... apparently they want his nickname to be "Lucky 7's".
