Just curious what the odds might be of JM7 getting placed on waivers this month and actually getting claimed. Thought of this after hearing the Texiera retirement news. There were some articles in NY recently about the Yankees getting back to leveraging their financial situation more, and Mauer's contract would be nothing for them to take on. If a scenario like that happened, would the Twins just let him go for nothing? How would it work with his full no-trade clause. Does a waiver claim technically constitute a trade that he could reject? All wishful thinking, but interesting.
