Sources: D-backs P Garland clears waivers
Share This Story
Garland is among the best starters currently available on the trade market, one source said. That pool is relatively small, because it generally includes high-salaried pitchers on teams that are already out of contention.
Garland is 6-11 with a 4.42 ERA in 25 starts with Arizona this year. Despite his statistics, he has some appeal because of his postseason experience with the White Sox in 2005. He has a 3.60 ERA in six starts after the All-Star break.
The size of his contract likely kept other teams from claiming him on waivers, and it could prevent him from being dealt.
Garland is earning $6.25 million this year, with a $10 million mutual option for 2010. He will receive a $2.5 million buyout if the team's share of the option is declined.
So, at this point, there's a minimum of $4 million left on his deal. Many teams are wary of adding that much money this late in a season.
