Gaudin Placed on Waivers

According to this Tweet from Ed Price (Hat-tip to my friend RL) Chad Gaudin was placed on waivers.

Yankees have put RHP Gaudin on waivers. Once he clears, Yanks can send to AAA & pay entire $2.95M or release & pay 1/4 of total.

I wouldn't be surprised if he clears waivers, gets sent down and Yankees either keep him for insurance or trade him in the near future. Looks like we are officially down to four candidates for that fifth starter spot. Don't forget though Gaudin can refuse the AAA assignment and become a FA.
