2014 MLB Mid-Season Trade Watch
MistaNova:
Although the proverbial trade deadline has passed it's now that time of year where teams put players on waivers and they either pass waivers and remain with their teams, or get claimed by another team and either get traded or no deal is worked out and the players stay put anyway.
One notable waiver wire transaction today was how Yankees reliever Matt Thornton was claimed by the Nationals.
Now Thornton is on his way to the Nats while the Yankees have added Rich Hill to be the lefty in their bullpen while they wait until September for rosters to expand and to firmly evaluate whether or not their home grown lefty relievers (who they have a lot of confidence in) are ready. Possible candidates include Tyler Webb and the Yankees first overall draft pick in 2014, Jacob Lindgren.
On an unrelated but still important note, the Miami Marlins have designated Jacob Turner for assignment. Now the race is on to see who'll claim him first.
