Correct. A player only has 3 option years. When we picked him up, from Minn I believe, he was out of options which is why he was DFA by them. If we were to try to send him to the minors again he'd have to pass through waivers. They could either designate him off the 25 or DFA. Either way, he'd have to pass through waivers and accept the assignment. He can decline an assignment to AAA and become a FA, but he'd forfeit his salary.
