Not news, trade waivers are revocable.Revocable waivers, per MLB. Which isn't news, is it? Players get claimed and pulled back from waivers all the time.
Of course, in order for The Punto Trade to go through, the Dodgers had to claim the throw-insNot news, trade waivers are revocable.
It's still news in that the Sox either have some interest in him (and yes, I know that doesn't mean they'll work something out for him) or are working to block him from going somewhere else (like Toronto).Not news, trade waivers are revocable.
The Red Sox could just make the trade as a PTNBL and send them to the Dodgers in the offseason.With him playing in AAA what could the Dodgers ask for him? This isn't a DFA where the Red Sox would only pay the minimum, the Dodgers can simply unload the whole contract on the Sox (maybe they can get a kid for him, but he would also have to clear waivers.
This might not be a real tweetStrange thread, the closest thing to a realistic report on this is Ken Rosenthal saying that the Indians were the ones who claimed him, which means Boston passed:
His remaining contract is for $14M plus whatever he gets paid for September. That's total over two more seasons. Not each year. The Dodgers have zero incentive to dump his contract. They will either get a decent prospect (or more) back, or they'll keep him.With him playing in AAA what could the Dodgers ask for him?

I doubt they would ask for a kid on the 40-man, so no waivers required.With him playing in AAA what could the Dodgers ask for him?

The revocable part isn't news...which is what I think AB in DC was asking re: the news. I wasn't saying this isn't news.It's still news in that the Sox either have some interest in him (and yes, I know that doesn't mean they'll work something out for him) or are working to block him from going somewhere else (like Toronto).
Am I missing a tweet or something being on the app or is there no source that specifically mentions the sox and this is just speculation it's the sox.
And Craig. And Kelly. Like our own island of misfit toys.Yasiel and Rusney, two wild and crazy guys livin' large in Pawtucket
Don't forget Panda.And Craig. And Kelly. Like our own island of misfit toys.
Outside of the whole not wanting him at all thing.The Dodgers have zero incentive to dump his contract.
Don't forget Panda.
Can Puig pitch out of the bullpen? Asking for a friend.
Panda is not in Pawtucket but has apparently lost 150 pounds and will push Shaw for split 3rd base duties next year.
Wouldn't Adrian Gonzalez have had as much of a chance to do that when he was with the Dodgers? Sounding moot anyway.Wonder if Papi's leadership on team would have a positive effect on Puig's behavior issues, as well as Boston not being LA.
Thanks

Yasiel Puig claimed by Red Sox (Not officially confirmed)
Maybe, but I doubt it. I obviously know neither AGon or Papi personally, but AGon didn't trike me as much of a leader when he played on the Sox, more of a to-himself kind of guy. Papi obviously relishes and excels at the role of mentor, role model and veteran team leader.Wouldn't Adrian Gonzalez have had as much of a chance to do that when he was with the Dodgers? Sounding moot anyway.

The Dodgers only claimed the players they wanted, Gonzalez and Beckett. The other two cleared waivers.Of course, in order for The Punto Trade to go through, the Dodgers had to claim the throw-ins
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/08/red-sox-dodgers-discussing-blockbuster.htmlThe Dodgers recently won the claiming rights to Gonzalez and Beckett. Gonzalez can't block a trade to Los Angeles, but Beckett must approve any assignment as a player with ten and five rights. Crawford and Punto cleared waivers earlier this month and can be traded without waiver-related restrictions.
Like I said ... the throw-insThe Dodgers only claimed the players they wanted, Gonzalez and Beckett. The other two cleared waivers.
