this deal has to be delayed until papi clears waivers doesn't it?

until he is bid on the cash exchange does not work.

[Giants]

Right, it has to wait until Papi clears, or if a team claims him, which ever happens first.

Giants confirm. Players swap teams 48 hours from now.

How is this trade possible if the cap room doesn't exist? Plus players added..cmon guys..we are opening a hornets nest

Otherwise we could just started adding UFA's because probably no one would bid

[Bobby]

As Justin said teams will swap in 48 hours, however they have dropped and added prematurely on Yahoo.

They cannot be added until Ortiz' contract has been dealt with.
I am going to put those players back on Yahoo.

[Giants]

It was a simple mistake. I thought the cap space would be cleared.

No need to panic. Dunn has been dropped, Capps and Penny will be too. You guys should know me better than that by now.

[bosox]

figured you just made a mistake but if you were not told may have not noticed.

astros,well,not too sure about him.

[bosox]

actually good thing rangers noticed the CAPPS or you guys would have been DUNN.

I thought about making some snarky comment about Ortiz and the Red Sox here, but then I realized I have to bid on Ortiz tomorrow and that just made me sad and less funny.

I was also gonna try to blackmail the commish with a picture Joe Mauer took of him in a red speedo on a Mexican beach, but he stood strong, so I'll be with Dunn for another day.

I'll be in last place if anybody needs me.
