DFA means he's off our 40-man roster, and we must do one of 3 things within 10 days:
1) Put him on waivers, and if he clears it we can send him to the minors. There's no chance he clears waivers.
2) Trade him
3) Release him
edit: since he has more than 5 years of service, he can't be sent to the minors without his consent, so #1 is not really an option. But as I said, there's no chance he clears waivers anyway. So, we are either trading him or cutting him.
