Odalis Perez No Longer An Option

From Ed Ryan at Mets Fever (Network Member):

Of all the names on the waiver wire, the one that appeared to have Omar written all over him was Odalis Perez. The Mets have been rumored to be interested in Perez, several times over the last two years, dating back to when he was with the Dodgers and available. Perez is was one of those live, young arms that has never meet his potential. He has never impressed me, but I could see Omar taking a flier on him, especially if the cost was minimal. Well for anyone concerned that it may happen, fret not; because KC just placed him on the DL retro Aug. 20. A player can't be traded while on the DL and once he comes off it will be too late to make the post season roster.

Royals placed LHP Odalis Perez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug.20, with a sprained left knee. source Rotoworld
