Should the Tribe DFA Giovanny Urshela, or the incumbent Erik Gonzalez? They both fill the same role on the team and both are out of minor league options. One of them will have to be exposed to waivers.
There is a high risk that whoever is put on waivers will be claimed by another team. This is more than just a ‘who do we want on our 25 man roster?’ question. This is a ‘who do we want to keep in our organization?’ question.
We’ve covered this topic before and came to the conclusion that Urshela is more likely to get designated for assignment based on his lower offensive output over his career.
