Interestingly enough as I play it through my mind it's not that big of a pipe dream to land him via him clearing waivers.
1) His injury history is muddy at this point in his career
2)He comes with a price tag
3)He comes with a history of being a distraction, this will be 2nd place he's flamed out
4)He hasn't been productive
5(Teams may question his mental state
It's quite possible that the uglier and messier this gets the better the chance teams will turn up their nose at him. McDonalds Circa 1994...hey...it could happen.
