interesting that is 3 open roster spots.
might something be going down?
On january 10, all contracts become guaranteed for the remainder of the season. That's why these players are cut (non guaranteed contracts). They need to clear the waivers before january 10 and there's a 48 hours waiting period before they clear the waivers. The waiver request deadline's always 5PM (Eastern Time) so if the players are waived today, they will clear the waivers friday at 5PM and those contracts won't become guaranteed on january 10. Mission accomplished. It's not an indication a trade will go down and we're making room to sign a free agent, a 10-day contract, etc. It's just the january 10 deadline for non guaranteed contracts.
I understand that. I know we were cutting at least 2 of the guys. But all indications where we were going to keep Lance Thomas. Now we are cutting all 3 guys and we have only filled up 1 of the open spaces.
With Galloway 10 day contract.
