[USML Announce] Waiving Kenta Maeda

[Jeffrey Winick]

I’m pretty sure Mark is right about this. A technicality but one that has been enforced in the past.

Frank/others:  On further reflection, while this is a minor issue, is the Maeda transaction even eligible for a $2 increase in FAAB?  Rule 14.6 applies to a player "traded" to the NL, but does a cut by AL team/signing by NL team qualify?  I did not think it did and do not recall applying the rule this way in the past (definitely could be mistaken on that one).  Feel free to weigh in.

The Lubeasts would like to waive Kenta Maeda.

Could the commissioner please credit $2 in FAAB money?

Thanks!
