I think our waiver wire needs updated. This is a rule from another league that a couple of us that are in Josh's league. This is the rule from their rule book. Please vote if you would like to implement this.
MLB Waivers
52 - To be as realistic to Major League Baseball as possible, we will have a waiver system. Waivers will close on 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 assuming they have enough cap space. It will only be a valid claim if the team has enough cap space.
55 - After a player has been put on waivers, teams have 48 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 player(s).
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 and no longer can post this player on waivers.
57 - If a player goes unclaimed on waivers that player can be traded to any team.
*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. You can NOT trade a player that resides on the MLB roster unless that player has also cleared waivers
Only 5 players can be placed on waivers after the trade deadline
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.
