Thank you Wilbur. Heller certainly seems like he would have been in enough demand to sign somewhere he thought he had a real good chance of making the MLB roster.

I wonder if anyone on this list has any opt out power? I would think maybe Lamb?

Sorry, I've been meaning to respond to this. As of right now, I have Celestino, Lamb, and Plassmeyer as having opt-outs.

But Wilbur was correct below--they've yet to sign any XX(B) FAs to any MiL deals, so no one has an automatic opt-out at this point.

I don't think any under the CBA. It requires six years plus the player has to have finished the previous season on a major league roster. Lamb finished 2023 on a MiL contract with the Yankees. Nobody else has six yrs. Of course, anybody could have a clause in his individual contract. Haven't seen anything on that.

I might be remembering wrong, but wasn't hunter stratton's stuff+ numbers all super good?

I was surprised he cleared waivers.

He was nontendered, never on waivers
