Okay guys so we talked about this a lot and me and Gray discussed this a lot and here is my proposal for changes to the MLB Waivers process for next season.
1) If a player goes unclaimed on waivers that player can be traded to any team 2) Only 5 players can be placed on waivers after the trade deadline 3) After the trade deadline, the player placed on waivers, can only be traded for only players on Upper Minors, MiLB roster, Low Minors, draft picks, cash , or any other players that are placed on waivers and go unclaimed. 4) If a player is claimed off waivers and is "Pulled back" by the team that placed him there then that player can no longer be placed on waivers.
What are your thoughts on this possible change? Is there anything we aren't thinking about?

On #3, why the limit on players that can be traded for. Why are players on the ML roster not allowed to be traded as part of a waiver claim deal?

Because otherwise teams can place there entire team on waivers if they pleased which would essentially eliminate the trade deadline and make that meaningless. You can trade MLB players as part of the trade if they clear waivers, if you allow MLB players to be traded as part of any trade then again this devalues the trade deadline.

Ok, makes sense. I was just wanting to know the reason. If it is an upper minors player that is on the ML roster, would that player be eligible to be traded?

Having a max amount of players placed on waivers is a good idea. You don't want to flood the market after the trade deadline because the deadline would have no meaning. I understand after the deadline and before the end of waivers maybe a team or two drop out of the race and then those teams want to dump their players for future assets but having a limit of 5 players is a good way of not saturating the market.

Don't we have a Yahoo deadline though? Yes and then we have a Waiver trade period just like in real life.

So this would process the trades after the deadline.

So only 5 is up for the change what happens if I had 5 players clear waivers during the year, I couldn't move them after the deadline only the 5 new ones I put on after the deadline?

You can put as many as you want on waivers before the trade deadline. After the deadline you can only put up to 5
