The Miami Marlins have placed struggling veteran starting pitcher Cal Quantrill on outright waivers ahead of the roster deadline at the end of the month. As a reminder, a player must have been on a team's Major League roster before September 1 to be eligible for the postseason roster. For a team like the Chicago Cubs, Quantrill being placed on waivers is a reminder that there could be some surprise reinforcements to consider over the next few weeks.
In Quantrill's case, any team that claims would be on the hook for the remainder of his $3.
