May 30th
In a surprising move, the Miami Marlins placed LF/RF Nick Schluter(28, 3*) on waivers. The 28-year old has hit .258 in limited action this season and .274-6-43 .716OPS 18/18SB in 117 games in AAA last season. Dave Gomes thinks he is as good as any outfielder we have so we put in a claim.

Oaks Bridle Expos, 3-1
