Moore and Lopez have been pretty good in relief, not sure what putting them on waivers is for. Giolito has been horrible as an Angel. Grichuk has been atrocious as an Angel and Renfroe was ice cold in the month of August but had otherwise been a solid corner outfield bat. It is pretty drat impressive that all of the players the Angels acquired at least made sense and seemed like reasonable moves and none of them worked out. Fans have liked Moose because all of his home runs have had clutch timing and because he is not Anthony Rendon. This is at least giving major league guys a chance to make a playoff roster with another org, it is less cruel than making them play meaningless September baseball games with the Angels.

Extremely unfair to the AL East wild card hopefuls that GOMS, Texas and Houston will have two Oaklands to pulverize for the next ~200 regular season games

Please for the love of god let the Guardians pick up Matt Moore. We could use someone new in the pen to be hopeful about. Anyway this sucks and I'm sorry to Angels that Arte Moreno is such a loving skinflint.

From MLB.com: quote:Claiming priority is based on reverse winning percentage. So, if a player is placed on outright waivers by a club, the 29 other teams will each get a chance to claim a player, starting with the MLB team with the worst record. In the case of a tiebreaker when two or more claiming clubs are tied with the lowest percentage of games won, the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designee would award the player to the tied club that is in the same league as the club making the waiver request. If the tied clubs are in the same league, then the tied club with the lower percentage of games won at the close of the prior championship season, without regard to postseason results, would be awarded the player. A previous version of the rules gave priority based on the league of the team waiving the player, with NL teams getting priority for NL players, and AL for AL, but that is no longer the case. If a club has already previously claimed a player on outright waivers in a given year, the club’s claiming priority will be moved to last among the 30 clubs.

I'd guess a lot of teams are just going to let everybody pass waivers and hope they can pick up their targets as free agents on the league minimum. There's 30 games left which means picking a guy up off waivers puts that team on the hook for 18.5% of their outstanding contract this year. Like the difference between claiming Giolito off waivers vs signing him to the pro-rated league minimum is ~$2M vs ~$130K which isn't insignificant for teams near the tax.

That'd be a lot of assumptions, since they'd have to clear waivers, actually be released, and then you'd need to sign them before Friday. Given that releasing them isn't much of a salary dump, I'm not sure they'd be released if they cleared the waivers to begin with.

Also, players generally can just reject being assigned anywhere. They don't want to go if they have more than either three or five years of service time I forget which

So it was just pointed out to me that the Angels are only a couple million over the tax so this is absolutely a last ditch scheme by Arte to get under the threshold even if it absolutely mothballs the season.

The real reason to get under the tax is that it gets them a better comp pick (2nd vs 4th round iirc) if Ohtani signs somewhere else as a free agent

Somebody would probably take a flier on him next season which would save the Angels $720K in 2024).

I would assume they'd go back to the previous previous season as the next tiebreaker as that is usually how that sort of tiebreaker works, but you know what they say about assuming.
