Daisuke Matsuzaka On Waivers
http://0rz.tw/6zycJ
The Red Sox recently placed right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka on revocable
waivers, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports (Twitter links). One general manager
told Olney that Matsuzaka and Mark Buehrle might be available for little
return.
Matsuzaka earns $10MM in 2012, the final season of his six-year, $52MM
contract with the Red Sox. Just less than $2MM remains on his contract
between now and the end of the season. In six starts for Boston this year he
has posted a 5.10 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. He started against the
Royals last night, allowing one unearned run, five hits and two walks in
seven innings while striking out six.
The Red Sox have been particularly aggressive in placing players on waivers
this summer (at least in terms of what has been reported relative to other
teams). If Matsuzaka goes unclaimed, the Red Sox will be able to complete a
trade just as easily as they could have before the current waiver period
began at the beginning of August.
If a team claims Matsuzaka, the Red Sox will have three choices. They can let
him (and his contract) go to the claiming team, they can complete a trade
with the claiming team, or they can pull him back off of waivers. American
League teams will have claiming priority on Matsuzaka.
