Free agency is just starting and fans are expecting their team to make a big splash to spice up their hot stove season.
So the Guardians picked up Jose Tena on waivers.
Now that will not immediately impact the 40 man roster that is currently at 37 with Tena.
However, this could impact the Guardians when it is time to set their roster for the Rule 5 draft.
We have 4 guys we SHOULD be protecting: Chourio, Campbell, Huff and LIvely.
In order to do that we will have to DFA someone.
While Perkins is the obvious choice, if you want a guy like Tena why not just keep Brito.
But, rosters are fluid at this time of year. These types of moves usually end up in nothing..until they do.
Rather have led with a signing of Skubal but the suspense before they announce that signing will only add to the joy after they do announce it!
There is plenty of guys we can DFA and never miss. We also as fans, dont know if there is going to be a R5 draft. They probably have a pretty good idea if there will be one, and are making plans either way.
