Who would want a useful reliever around when you can keep guys like Mabry and Macias on the 40-man? Why pay league minimum for something when you can pay 3-4 million for it?

Their roster is a mess. I think they finally have more outfielders than catchers on it now, at least. Van Buren has two or three option years left. You'd think it would make more sense to just release or send crap like Koronka or Soto to the minors. I don't think anyone would claim them and if they did, who cares? Wellemeyer and Mitre are also out of options and will probably be dumped for a PTBNL or some crappy corner outfielder.

Anyone remember when Mitre threw one of the best games of the Cubs' season a bit before the trade deadline and had a ton of value in a trade? Now he's borderline waiver bait.
