Angels released first baseman Shea Hillenbrand.
The Yankees obviously weren't as interested as some indicated they were. The Angels were hoping they'd at least succeed of in dumping most of Hillenbrand's salary in a trade. Since it didn't happen, they'll be on the hook for the rest of the $6.5 million he due, minus the prorated minimum once signs with another team (probably $150,000-$175,000, depending on how long it takes him to find a new home).
No doubt he will find a new home. The Braves might be interested as well as the Twins.

The Braves might have interest in him with Thorman struggles and Salty not really a 1st baseman.

I don't know. They wouldn't even trade for him and its not like they are doing well. Plus he wants to play everyday.

Yeah, but who is the Yankees alternative, Andy Phillips, Doug Mientiewicz, Miguel Cairo. They are not very good options. Shea is a slight upgrade to all of them IMO.

I agree but just find it weird they wouldn't even trade elephant shit for him. Maybe they new he was being released all along.

No team was willing to trade for Hillenbrand, even with the Angels willing to pick up most of his salary. He's a free agent now after clearing waivers today.
I thought he would be worth something at least.

I hope the Twins get him because they are the only team I mentioned along with Rosenthal No, Twins need him more as they have an actual shot at October.
