6 years agoBoston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday after clearing waivers on Tuesday. The team may still look to trade Leon, as his $2.475 million contract is included in the Sox's Opening Day payroll.

Even if Leon lands on a major league roster, he shouldn't be considered a viable fantasy option.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
