I know the D-backs have claimed him.

So the Reds trade him to the DBacks or he stays here...

MLB Gameday has Dunn in the Reds lineup.

Duun wasn't waived. Where did that come from? He was placed on waivers, and from there every other MLB team has a chance to claim him. The Reds will either trade him or pull him off waivers...

 

 

Was just getting ready to post that.

Darnit to heck, oh well, I'm listening to Marty and see if anything comes up. I can't imagine our crack TV crew discussing anything actually news worthy.

I dont know how all this works. All I know is they had until 7 to decide what they were doing.

If true, he's staying. He's in the lineup...

Any player under contract may be placed on waivers at any time. If a player is waived, any team may claim him. If more than one team claims the player from waivers, the team with the weakest record in the player's league gets preference. If no team in the player's league claims him, the claiming team with the weakest record in the other league gets preference. In the first month of the season, preference is determined using the previous year's standings.

 

If a team claims a player off waivers and has the viable claim as described above, his current team (the "waiving team") may choose one of the following options:arrange a trade with the claiming team for that player within two business days of the claim; or

rescind the request and keep the player on its major league roster, effectively canceling the waiver; or

do nothing and allow the claiming team to (1) assume the player's existing contract, (2) pay the waiving team a waiver fee, and (3) place the player on its active major league roster.

If a player is claimed and the waiving team exercises its rescission option, the waiving team may not use the option again for that player in that season. If no team claims a player from waivers in three business days, the player has cleared waivers and may be assigned to a minor league team, traded, or released outright.

 

The waiver "wire" is a secret within the personnel of the Major League Baseball clubs; no announcement of a waiver is made until a transaction actually occurs. Many players are often quietly waived during the August "waiver-required" trading period to gauge trade interest in a particular player. Usually, when the player is claimed, the waiving team will rescind the waiver to avoid losing the player unless a trade can be worked out with the claiming team.

If I'm not mistaken, Man Ram was placed on waivers a couple times by the sox.

I'm watching the game on fsnohio and Dunn is playing for the Reds. He is in left field.

Thanks for the info.

I'm trying to find out the final scope on what happened, and I will let you guys know.

Maybe something like this?

 

DENVER -- A possible trade to send Brian Giles from San Diego to Boston fell through Friday, and the Padres outfielder said he was upset that details of the talks became public.

 

"I didn't know everybody was supposed to know, especially when it wasn't a done deal and it wouldn't go down," Giles said before the Padres opened a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.

Giles was claimed off of waivers by the Red Sox on Wednesday, and the teams had 48 hours to complete a deal. Giles had to consent to be traded, and the Red Sox were one of eight teams on his no-trade list. He wouldn't say who killed the deal -- several reports said he refused to give his consent.

 

If this happend, I'd say Dunn refused as well.

My guess is the Reds pulled Dunn back.
