Waiver-Wire
by Jon Shields ~ August 4th, 2008
MLBTR lists Carlos Silva, Jarrod Washburn, Miguel Batista, Jose Vidro, Kenji Johjima and Miguel Cairo as Seattle’s top candidates to be placed on waivers this month, which makes sense. If any of these guys are claimed the organization better not think twice about letting someone else take their contracts. I believe it was last season that Richie Sexson was supposedly claimed by the Detroit Tigers, but then-GM Bill Bavasi inexplicably pulled him back.

Is there any chance one or a few of them don’t get claimed?

^Def. I don’t really see anyone touching Silva, Batista, Vidro or Johjima. But it’s worth a shot, and that’s why players get put on waivers this time of year.
Keep in mind that this isn’t the list of players put on waivers, just MLBTR’s candidates. We won’t know who is actually on waivers until someone, if anyone, gets claimed.
