To make room for Castellanos according to various tweets.
Wonder if they trade him or if he will clear waivers?
Crazy surprised that it was Siri and not Schebler.
I assume the trade would be for some DSL prospect guy.
Not at all surprised at Siri over Schebler. Siri has proven over and over he just can't hit. Schebler has had success in majors. when healthy. 2020 will be Schebler's last chance in Reds org though.
I've got no problems with Siri being DFAd. I'm not really a believer, but there are several guys who are likely exposed at the end of Spring Training who don't seem to have any real chance at making the roster. Jankowski, Schebler, Sal Romano, Mark Payton are all guys the Reds probably will need to put through waivers (or offered back to his original team in Payton's case) at some point. The Reds probably won't lose all of those guys, but it seems like any of those guys should have been in front of Siri on the chopping block. Oh well. I'm guessing some team like the Tigers, Marlins, Pirates, Giants or Orioles claim Siri with hope of upside. The option makes him a guy worth claiming. The Pirates might need the CF depth with Marte gone.
How long till he clears waivers?
He's got 7 days before he even has to be put on waivers. They'll try to gauge trade interest first.
Siri claimed by Mariners.
