It appears both Thomas Harding and Troy Renck are correct. Paul Janish has an out clause now, but he can only exercise it if another MLB team offers him a spot on their opening day roster.
He also has an out clause for July 1, which is a more typical opt-out.
He has 48 hours from the time he was told he wasn't making the Rockies opening day roster. I'm guessing that was Thursday morning, so he'll know his fate by tomorrow.
That explains why the Rockies have made no official announcement. Teams usually wait in situations like this until the outcome is known.
I really wish the Reds would pick him up. They've already told Ramon Santiago he made the team, but he hasn't been added to the roster yet. Janish would be a better option than Santiago.
