Spanky Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 For you MLB gurus, how does this work? Trade deadline is 7/31, but Pudge is traded in august. Just wondering. The way I understand it is that he would have been put on waivers and all other teams pass on him. I guess it is a "gentlemans agreement" among teams not to pick up a player that has been waived for the purposes of making a trade...but Rodriguez has enough left that I wouldn't have been surprised if someone would have called him up.
Ruckdad Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Astros place him on waivers. If he gets claimed the Astros have a certain amount of time to complete a trade with that team or pull him off waivers. However, any team with a record worse than the Rangers had the opportunity to claim Pudge off waivers as well.
