Team acquiring Grichuk would have had to pay about $1.7 million (based on my napkin math) for one month of him mostly being a bench bat. Not worth it.

And on Aug. 31, 2023, the San Diego #Padres officially surrender.
They didn’t bother making a waiver claim.

Sources: There has been a huge shakeup in the Mets front office. Kevin Howard, director of player development has been fired as well as Jeff Lebow, Director of Pro Player Evaluation. Other higher ranking officials and analysts said to be fired as well. Changes coming to Mets org.

MLB still needs to find a way to prevent this in the future
Not fair to the Twins
they should at least limit it to one player per team. Guardians just got 3 serviceable guys for nothing.

The owners are the creators of and are fully aware of these rules.
They'll change what they decide they want to change. They care about themselves more than they do about the fans or competitiveness or fairness.

Surprised that their 2022 Participation and "We owned the Phils" trophies didn't buy them a few more years...

I know that he has a large option, but Clevinger would have been a decent pickup

Yeah, he's definitely taking his $4M buyout and going to free agency, so it would have cost between $5.2M and $5.5M to claim him for 1 month plus playoffs.
He's been very good this year, but I think Phillies remember that he couldn't get a single out against them in the NLCS

Unrelated to much: I can't believe how good Lance Lynn has been for the Dodgers

on the other side of the coin, Robertson has been a disaster for the Marlins
