The Rays sure could use him as could my my Giants along with the Red Sox. I hope Sabean can get something done because Overbay would kill the gaps in AT&T Park and provide consistency from first base. The Red Sox wouldn't have to really worry about Delgado if they Overbay. I am really surprised no one put a claim on him even though its a down year for Overbay.Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Lyle Overbay has cleared waivers.
This isn't unusual for high-priced players at this time of year. Overbay is still owed a little over $2 million until the end of the season and can veto any trade. Morosi speculates that the Rays could look at Overbay as a potential contingency plan for Carlos Pena, who is currently on the disabled list with a foot injury.
