I think that 26th man rule only is effect during the season and on days of double headers.

It is strange that a move has not yet been announced,but possibly it may be due to the fact that it is a holiday period between Christmas and New Years.

Dragmire was removed from the roster when Hudson was added last week. You are correct a roster move must be made now that Nova was officially signed.

<t>I would like Quintana since he is a lefty, but I don't want the Bucs to overpay with prospects to acquire him. I posted earlier I would seriously think about giving up Glasnow and Meadows/Newman.

<t>It appears to me the Bucs are waiting for a final resolution with Nova. I am beginning to think they should make their best offer to him and then move on. I fear that they will lose out on Nova and by that time any other pitcher who they might have any interest in,will have already signed with an...

I guess that is our big move for this week. Lost him to Texas on a waiver claim, and then we reclaim him again.
