Bobby Livingston, we hardly knew ya.Citing a rule that prohibits a team from claiming a player off waivers only to trade him to another team, Major League Baseball has voided the Devil Rays' acquisiton of Livingston earlier this week. Subsequently, the Rays' trade of the 24-year-old lefty to the Phillies for cash on Tuesday has also been nullified. The Reds have been allowed to claim Livingston off waivers from the Mariners.
Based on Livington's 2006 numbers (8-11, 4.59 ERA at Class AAA Tacoma, 18.00 ERA in three appearances for the Mariners), losing him isn't exactly a crushing blow to the Phils.
