"B.J. Upton remains with the Rays after being placed on waivers and claimed by an unknown team, Marc Topkin of tampabay.com reported Monday.

The window for that team to strike a deal with the Rays has expired. There was speculation that the Nationals or Indians put in the claim.

Roger Mooney of Tampa Bay Online reported on Saturday that Upton feels it is possible he won't be back with the Rays next season, regardless of what happened with the waiver claim. Upton is arbitration-eligible this offseason."
