Notes: Doug Davis on wavier wire?

According to an ESPN.com report, Diamondbacks left-hander Doug Davis has been placed on waivers. It's not clear if he has been claimed or has cleared, or even when the 48-hour waiver period began. Diamondbacks officials would not confirm or deny the report. Once a player clears waivers he can be traded. He also could be traded to the team that claims him.

I haven't

seen it anywhere but on ESPN and that AZ Republic article. I wonder if there’s a potential deal out there or if the Diamondbacks are just making a precaution in case they can find one.

Not surprised.

This is the time of year when teams put the majority of their rosters through waivers, JUST IN CASE. (With the exceptions of young players of the future like Upton, Reynolds, Miggy, Droo, Scherzer, etc.)

That's true

Can always pull them back even if another team takes a bite.

I think (hope?) the FO values DD as much as we do. I’m fine with a worthwhile trade, but my hunch is that he’s not going to get the kind of return that we ought to get for him and that he’ll stay. That’s fine by me as I really want to see him in a D-Backs uni next year.

John Heyman of Sports Illustrated is saying that the Brewers have claimed Davis on waivers.
