Marlins' Jarrod Saltalamacchia expected to clear waivers

The veteran catcher could sign with any team if he is not traded before tomorrow afternoon.

Miami designated catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia for assignment after he lost his starting job to J.T. Realmuto, and while the club was thought to be close to trading the former Red Sox backstop, a deal may not be imminent. The Marlins have until Tuesday at 2:00 P.M. to trade Saltalamacchia, however ESPN's Jerry Crasnick notes he is expected to clear waivers.

Several teams are in pursuit of backup catching options and Saltalamacchia was thought to be appealing.
