On the Rockies demoting an infielder 'so he could play for the Olympics:'

• "He has to clear waivers by Monday to be available to play in the Olympics," Hurdle said. "To get an opportunity to play in the Olympics, it adds tremendous value to someone's career."

(It's an unfortunate but major obsession of MLB, Inc. second only to the World Baseball Classic. Mr. Hurdle's words may be just for show but someone liked them).
