Gibbons responds to Estrada waiver reports: "nothing’s going to happen"
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons responded to reports that right-hander Marco Estrada had been claimed off revocable waivers Tuesday by saying “nothing’s going to happen.”
Reports said Estrada had been claimed by an unknown team.
A player on revocable waivers can either be claimed by a team — with the new team taking on his remaining salary — pulled back from waivers by the team that placed him there, or can be traded if a deal is reached between the two teams.
Gibbons said that parting ways with Estrada, who started Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, would be unlikely.
