Yesterday, the Mets designated starting pitcher Dillon Gee for assignment. That means that they now have ten days to trade him and his $5.3 million (a bit over $3 million left on it) salary, or release him to whatever team puts in a waiver claim. If no team puts in a claim, he can be sent to triple-A.
Should the Rays offer a trade? Should the Rays place a claim if no one above them in the waiver order does?
Right now the answer is probably "no." Jake Odorizzi's rehab from an oblique strain is allegedly going well.
