Brewers claim Doug Davis on Waivers; 2-days to work out deal (Update 8/14: Deadline passed, no deal)

Per http://www.azcentral.com/...s/Blog/NickPiecoro/60148 the Dbacks are not looking to dump salary. I have a tough time believing that and am guessing they are just publicly negotiating to try and get a player back. I don't see a benefit to them keeping Davis. They let Dunn walk, I have a hard time thinking they want to spend another $2.5M+ to keep Davis so they can offer him arb, hoping he turns it down and gets a compensation pick.

 

Hopefully the Brewers won't give up more than a marginal player that doesn't project to have a career as a Brewer, be it Katin or some other position player.
