MLB Waivers
52 - To be as realistic to Major League Baseball as possible, we will have a waiver system. Waivers will close August 31st and reopen January 2nd.
53 - To place a player on MLB waivers please post the name of the player and his salary in the sub-board titled ‘MLB Waivers’.
54 - Once a player is put on waivers, all of the teams have the option to claim the player if they choose to.
*To clarify the player will remain on the team’s roster. If you would like to drop the player see rule 61
55 - After a player has been put on waivers, teams have 24 hours to place a claim.
56 - Once a player has been claimed, the two negotiating teams will have 72 hours to work out a deal. If a team claims a player, there are three possible outcomes:
Option 1: The team that claimed the player and the team that posted the player can work out a trade involving any players.
Option 2: If after the time limit a deal is not reached, the team that posted the player on waivers can elect to receive nothing in return for the player. The Team that claimed said player is responsible for this player’s contract in full, and therefore is awarded this player. The team that placed this player on waivers no longer has any contractual responsibility.
Option 3: The team that posted the player on waivers can simply elect to keep the player on their roster.
57 - Once a decision has been made on which option has been chosen, post it as soon as possible. You do not have to wait the full 72 hours to make a transaction.
58 - One other note: A player may only be placed on waivers 3 times during a season.
59 - If more than one team claims the player from waivers, the team with the weakest record in the league gets preference. In the first month of the season, preference is determined using the previous year's standings. If no one claims the player he will be remain on the team's roster.
