Waiver Wire
Any player who has three (3) partial seasons of experience in the major leagues (partial experience defined as having: For a hitter: 100 AB's in a year, For a SP: 15 GS in a year, for a RP: 30 IP in a year) or higher experience (can be found on their player card in the editor) is subject to clearing waivers before he can be sent from the 25-man roster to the minor leagues.
A player will remain on waivers for 48 hours, during which time he can be claimed by any team for the cost of $100,000 dollars. This cost will be subtracted from your annual budget, and placed into the league "bank" (more on the bank later). If the player goes unclaimed, he may then be sent down to a minor league roster (any level). Any player sent down who has LESS than an experience of three (3) partial years will be clear of any waivers and will go straight to the minors. When the waiver claim is made the claiming team must state that they have a ML opening (if it's a ML player) or identify the player to be demoted to make room, if this fails to occur the claim is void.
Players can be placed on waivers twice in a waiver period (period 1 is Preseason-Trade Deadline, period 2 is August 1-World Series). They can be recalled the first time, but if placed on waivers a second time, they cannot be recalled if claimed. The second is called "irrevocable waivers".
Priority for waiver claims is:
The worst team in the same league as the releasing team.
The priority then goes up from the worst team to the best team IN THAT league.
If no team in the releasing team’s league claims the player, then the other league’s teams get priority from worst to best.
If you’re interested in claiming a player, you do not need to wait until a team ahead of you in priority has responded. The team with the best priority (who expressed interest in claiming) at the claim deadline will be awarded the player,and he must go to the 25 man roster. You cannot claim a player off waivers and place him on the AAA club right away, he would need to clear waivers again.
When you make a claim, please state that you have an ML opening, or who you want to send down to make an opening.
