According to Tim Dierkes at MLB Trade Rumors, Scott Schoeneweis and Duaner Sanchez passed through waivers.  Once a player has passed through waivers, he can be traded after the July 31st deadline. 

For Sanchez, Dierkes writes, “His velocity is down 3.6 mph from ‘06.  Sanchez is under team control through ‘09.”

As for Schoeneweis he notes, “His strikeout rate is down, but so is his ERA.  Apparently no team wanted to risk taking on his contract - $3.6MM this year, $3.6MM in ‘09.”

I’m extremely surprised, neither of them have big contracts and both should have a use in any bullpen.
