And it has been done before, the player doesn’t come to mind tho’

Kelly Gruber was the player; drafted by the Jays from the Indians. They offered him back but the Indians declined.

The choice, in this case, for the Yanks would be to accept Igawa back, and return half of the 50 grand, if the team that claims him wants to return him. And, that’s where they should say “no thanks.”

If Igawa is selected in the draft, the Yankees don’t have a choice. And, I’m pretty sure whoever takes Igawa is stuck with him, because the original team doesn’t have to take him back.

Igawa isn’t going anywhere.
