The Story: A.J. Achter, Al Alburquerque clear waivers, are outrighted to Triple-A
MWAH Says: I always find it odd that players who are already in the minors, like Albuquerque, are nonetheless listed as getting an outright assignment to an affiliate when dropped off the roster. Why not “has cleared waivers and will stay at Triple-A”? Anyway, that Achter and Albuquerque are staying in the organization isn’t really big news, but it’s good in that the front office doesn’t have to go out searching of two other relievers for the Salt Lake bullpen.
