So, they're not asking for players back? -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:35 13
- Can’t do waiver trades anymore, Angels mostly and a couple other teams just cut guys to free salary or 40 man spaces -- nm - Tim Aug 31, 10:37 9
  - I knew they'd done that but I forgot that waiver trades aren't a thing. MLB needs to add rules against this before next season. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:38 8
    - Why? No, seriously. They just changed the rules in 2019 to prevent the whole you're waived but oh not really. We wanted to check your trade value -- nm - JD Aug 31, 10:40 7
      - It's a competitive balance thing, which I've always cared about more than MLB does. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:41 6
        
        The reverse standing priority would seem to address competition and it's not even like fantasy where a team uses it priority on one player - JD Aug 31, 10:46 5
        
        That's really dumb. We had that one year in BF where it accidentally worked like that and it was chaos. -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 10:52
        
        That's why it especially matters now. Worse wild card contenders get a gift. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:47 3
        
        I thought that the whole point of adding even wilder, wild cards was to add to the chaos of the end of the season - JD Aug 31, 10:52 2
        
        nah just more money for another round of prime time games -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:54 1
        
        8-) Actually that's super true -- nm - JD Aug 31, 10:55
- I’m honestly not sure which flavor of waivers everyone was on. I don’t think waive and trade works anymore though. - spamlet Aug 31, 10:36 2
  - I think what you're referring to was done away back in 2019 -- (link) - JD Aug 31, 10:39
  - Lux Tax Salary dump + compensation when Ohtani leaves -- nm - budice Aug 31, 10:38
