So far this offseason, we have seen 5 waiver claims. Taking into account the fact that each claim equals $20,000 we can create the following scenario viewing each claim as one single 5-team trade. While it is impossible to call a waiver claim a poor move, you can rate how a team did with their claims. The question os, how would you judge the offseason thus far?
Here is the trade scenario
Reds Acquire: Micah Johnson (from ATL) i.e.f. Luke Farrell (to CHC)
Cubs Acquire: Luke Farrell (from CIN), OF Jacob Hannemann (from SEA) & a Player to be Named Later (from LAA) i.e.f. $40,000 (to ATL), Mike Freeman (D.F.A.) & Felix Peña (to LAA)
Angels Acquire Felix Peña (from CHC) i.e.f. a Player to be Named Later (to CHC) & Jason Gurka (D.F.A.)
Mariners Acquire David Freitas (from ATL) i.e.f. Jacob Hannemann (to CHC)
Braves Acquire $40,000 (from CHC) i.e.f. David Freitas (to SEA) & Micah Johnson (to CIN)
The question I pose to the readers.....who has made out the best?
