2 questions

Is Aug 27 also the deadline to revoke the waiver if you want to keep your guy that was claimed?

Typically (in real life) the team gets more time to trade a guy who passed thru waivers, unclaimed. Of course he could only be traded for other guys who also passed unclaimed. Are we not extending the time here at all?

[Rawhide GM (Jimmy-LM)]

1) Yes, 8/27 is the last day to revoke any claims made. Any guys that Pass through waivers completely can be traded to anyone like real life. Guys that are claimed can only be traded to the claiming team, for any combination of prospects and/or players that have passed through waivers. That does not mean they have to be traded though, it is strictly the waiving teams perogative.

2) No extension of the time for trading, mostly because the playoffs start the following week.


If it makes more sense to guys, I can make the claim day 22-23, announce bids the 24th, 27th still last day to announce and trades

thanks Jimmy, what I thought but wanted to be sure

[Javelinas GM (Scott)]

Are PP players needing to go through the waiver process to trade or are they considered like prospects and can be freely traded?

[Rawhide GM (Jimmy-LM)]

PP Players need to go through waivers. Prospects are anyone that hasn't accrued 150ab/50ip rookie limits, and can be traded in deals for claimed players.
