That’s the point. There’s a million and one Outmans that can get DFA’d and signed to minor league deals. That role doesn’t have to be on the active roster of a terrible team. Martin and/or Roden can give Buck a day off every 10 days.
An Outman can get his contract selected at a moment’s notice and shuttle across town on the green line.
Bell at 1, Roden R, Buck CF, Martin L, Larnach/Wallner at DH and 4th OF
Clemens and his .560 OPS gets pushed to the bench with an actual 4 man outfield and the whole team gets better.
Then, when the service time shenanigans are done, Roden can still be optioned, and there will still be an Outman in the DFA fodder
