Email all waiver claims to the
commissioner and the team involved. Post the claim on the message board.
The team that owns the player has 48 hours to notify the claiming team and
the commissioner that he is moving the player to the majors. |
 |
A player may be claimed on
waivers if ALL of the following are true:
 |
He is not injured or just off being injured. |
 |
He has reached his peak. |
 |
He is in the minors. |
 |
He has been in the league (minors or majors) for three
full years |
|
 |
No limit to successful waiver
claims. |
 |
More than one team can claim
the same player. If the claim is not blocked, the player goes to the team
with the worst record. The 48-hour clock starts at the time of the claim
made by the team with the worst record. So if a claim made by one team is
topped by a subsequent claim by a team with a worse record, the 48-hour
clock starts over when the higher priority claim is made. |
 |
If more than one team claims a
player on waivers, the priority goes to the lowest ranked team. For waiver
purposes, the ranking will be the same as for the rookie draft. DURING
THE MONTH OF APRIL, CLAIM PRIORITY IS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS SEASONS FINAL
RECORDS. |
 |
The original team may block
the waiver claim by notifying the commissioner and the claiming team(s)
that the player is being moved to the major league roster. If a waiver
claim is blocked in this way, the player must remain on the major league
roster for the rest of the regular season. |
 |
The team obtaining the waiver
player must give $1,000 ($1K) to the team losing the player.
|
 |
The waiver player MUST remain
on the major league roster of his new team for the remainder of the
current regular season unless he becomes injured for
more than 10 games. If
injured, he
must be recalled to the majors after
recuperation is
complete. |
 |
If the new owner wishes to
send the waiver players to the minors and no injury is involved, the
player must be offered back to the original owner at no cost. If the
original owner does not want the player back, the player may return to the
minor leagues where he will be subject to the waiver rule once again.
|
 |
If a player claimed on waivers
is then traded during that same season, he must remain on the major league
roster of the team receiving him in trade for the rest of the regular
season. |
 |
Waivers claims may start after
the first sim of the season, and they end at the conclusion of the regular
league schedule. |
