Buzz: Is Gotay on Waivers or Not?

by Matthew Cerrone on March 26th, 2008 at 8:53 am

…so, because i am confused, i talked with some one who would know, and it appears that Ruben Gotay has yet to be put on waivers, which is not to say he won’t be…it’s just that, as of right now, he has not been put on waivers

By the way, yesterday I wrote that WFAN’s Ed Coleman had said Gotay was on waivers. 

In review, it instead sounds like Coleman said: “I still put a question mark on Gotay, though he’s out of waivers.”

…like others, i thought i heard coleman say gotay is on waivers, but instead he said he is out of waivers…whatever that means…i assume he meant to say that gotay is out of options…of course, ii was not alone in my confusion, since the two hosts who coleman had been talking to, Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts, spent the next 10 minutes talking about gotay being on waivers, and what a huge mistake it would be to let him go

at any rate, as of now, gotay’s fate has yet to be determined…

…the thing is, it sounds like he’ll hit the wire at some point, and likely clear it, thus coming back to the Mets and making this whole miscommunication irrelevant

For instance, as noted earlier, today at MLB.com, Marty Noble writes: “The Mets might give Gotay his outright release, though the club is fully aware they could lose him through waivers.”
