DFA TRACKER

last update 2/21/12 12:05 PM PST

Here is a current list of players who have been designated for assignment and are currently awaiting their fate. Their team has 10 days to trade, release, or outright the player to the minors if they clear outright waivers. Players who have been removed from the 40-man roster previously during their career have the option of declining an outright assignment to the minors and becoming a free agent.

Jason,

What ever you do, please don't stop doing this DFA thread...I follow it closely.

Thanks

No worries. I was having a hard time keeping up with all of these DFA's once they cleared waivers so I started a running list so I wouldn't lose track. I'll always keep it on here.

Arendell

Thank you! Please keep this up, as I do look at this weekly.

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... March 17, 2011 4:23 PM  

No problem. I will. Have been since mid-2010 season. Should have a bunch of DFA's as we get close to Opening Day.

Are you not updating this any more? A lot of players have been dfa'd lately.

Tony Abreu, Max Ramirez, Gregor Blanco, Luis Hernandez, Manny Acosta, Luis Cruz, Nick Evans, Pat Misch, Brandon Boggs, Cesar Jimenez, Mike Rizzotti, etc.

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... March 29, 2011 1:40 PM  

Trying to find an explanation on if there is a difference. Acosta has been the only one to be 'designated for assignment', according to news sources. I think a player can be placed on waivers at any time and don't have to report it. When a player is designated for assignment, it is usually reported right away. From what I can tell, the DFA'd player is removed from the 40-man right away. The others, like Blanco, Abreu, etc. aren't removed from the 40-man right away. If I find anything, I'll post it here. For now, I'm just going off of what the beat writers are saying. If they say a player is DFA'd, I'll put them here.

When a player is outright assigned they were dfa'd before hand (teams have ten days to decide what to do with them).

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... March 29, 2011 4:24 PM  

But no one (not MLB.com or anyone else) is reporting that these players were DFA'd. Only Acosta. Like I said. I think there is some difference and I'm gonna figure it out.

Anonymous said... May 24, 2011 7:25 AM  

Is it possible to keep list from the beginning of the season instead of just the last 30 days? I find this list very helpful and was looking for a few dfa transactions that were already gone as its beyond 30 days. Thank you for the tracker!

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... May 25, 2011 4:10 PM  

Sorry about that. I will from now on or keep a separate post that goes back further than what shows on this page. All players who have been DFA'd have that info on their player page. Just find them on their team page and click on them. That may help.

Hey Jason, All the current D-A's listed at the top except Jesse Chavez have been non-tendered and are now Free Agents according to Roto-World's individual player profiles. David

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... December 13, 2011 2:17 PM  

Thanks David. I'm still a bit confused on those players' status. All were DFA'd a few days ago and then non-tendered yesterday. I think the result ends up the same with them becoming minor league free agents. I'll give it a few days and then make the adjustment.
