I guess I can go ahead and drop Sherrill from my fantasy team.

Nah, just trade him to the dumb guy that's a week late to find out fantasy news. For instance, if you were in my league, it'd be me.

Somehow Aardsma was still available, so I just picked him up.

Did you ever think he'd ever be on of major league baseball's save leaders?

Alex Rios claimed off waivers by unknown team.

EDIT: Yeah, I know this shit happens all the time, but I don't see why the Jays wouldn't want to shed his contract.

What teams are in position to take on $60 MM in future salary?

Reading the comments, the White Sox are set to have $43 MM come off the books at the end of this year. I doubt it though, with them also taking on Peavy's contract.

It would be really surprising if it is any team other than the Red Sox or the Yankees.

The team doesnt necessarily have to have the payroll space.
They could have put in a claim to block another team but will get stuck with him if the Jays choose.

That happened to the Pads with Randy Myers in 98

Red Sox DFA'd Smoltz.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

Boston DFAd John Smoltz.

Any chance he would go to the bullpen for a team?

Sounds like he knows he's done but would be nice if Cubs could use him every 3rd day for an inning or 2.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Cards tried to pick him up.
