Elias Díaz etched himself into baseball history when he won the 2023 All-Star Game MVP for the Rockies. Now, it appears that Colorado has made its catcher available to the rest of the league.

The Athletic¡¯s Ken Rosenthal reported that the Rockies placed D¨ªaz on outright waivers on Wednesday, although Colorado has not confirmed the news.

If he is placed on outright waivers, the other 29 teams have the chance to sign D¨ªaz, who will earn roughly $1.5 million for the rest of the season. Claiming priority is based on reverse winning percentage, meaning teams with worse records have the edge in signing D¨ªaz.

If D¨ªaz isn¡¯t claimed, his five years of MLB service means he can reject an assignment to the Minors if the Rockies tried to outright him. At that point, D¨ªaz could become a free agent.

After posting a .725 OPS in his All-Star campaign in 2023, D¨ªaz has a .693 OPS in 84 games for the Rockies this season. D¨ªaz first debuted in 2015 for the Pirates and has been with Colorado since the 2020 season.
