Just saw this, I wonder who claimed him?
What the?
Who got him, who got him? BoSox?
per rotoworld:
ESPN's Buster Olney says Andruw Jones has been claimed on waivers, though he doesn't know by which team.
This whole thing isn't much of a story. Jones can be traded to whichever team claimed him, but the only players the Braves could get in return are prospects not on the 40-man roster or players who fall to them on waivers. There's almost no way that they'd get the kind of talent they want in return for Jones in a waiver deal.
It just says unknown team
It's not final that a deal has been done yet.
Now the Braves have two choices -- either work out a trade with the team who placed the claim by Saturday or pull Jones back from waivers. If they pull him back, they cannot trade him again for the rest of this season.
"For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home."
In that case, I don't see him going anywhere. Where is that quote from DravenX? Do they say anything more about it or about which team made the claim?
I'm pretty sure the Braves could just let him go to the team and get nothing...the team that claimed him would assume the rest of his contract and such. This happened to the Padres with Randy Meyers a few years ago...they put a claim in to block a trade to a fellow contending team...the team that had him (I forget, which team to be honest) just let him go to the Padres and they were stuck with his bad contract. I don't think the Braves would do this, but theoretically they could.
This is a pointless discussion.

pointless enough for you to add even more pointless comment
Technically, the Padres sent an A-ball catcher to the Blue Jays for Myers. The Padres wanted to block the Braves from getting him, but the Padres overestimated Myers's value.Originally Posted by Providence A's
that may be true, but if they didn't put the claim in, he may have gone to Atlanta (which they didn't want)...so they did get stuck with him.
They could have just claimed Myers and chose not to make a deal, essentially blocking him from going elsewhere since the Jays could not put him on waivers again.
They better pull Jones back after the Red Sox surely would have eatten Jones' contract and offered them Coco Crisp and Craig Hansen. That's alot more than they would get if they tried to make a waiver deal with the team that claimed him.
"They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett
they are the Padres
theres no story here folks. not unless things change at any rate.
