Overview

  • Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the waiver placement, which begins a 48-hour claim window.
  • Waiver priority runs worst-to-first by record, meaning struggling clubs pick first under the current standings.
  • Quantrill, 30, signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal in February and would bring roughly $753,000 in remaining salary to any claiming team, plus up to $500,000 in incentives.
  • In 109.1 innings he is 4-10 with a 5.50 ERA and 1.386 WHIP, with 82 strikeouts and 30 walks, including an 11.25 ERA in three August starts.
  • If he goes unclaimed, Miami can outright him off the 40-man roster or keep him on the staff, and he has the service time to reject a minor league assignment while retaining his salary.
