While watching the 2018 Cleveland Indians; it’s easy to get the feeling that something is missing. When you get that feeling in the middle of August, the waiver period comes into play. For those who are unfamiliar with the August waiver rules I say: never fear, Believeland Ball is here!
The first option is that the team giving away a player can assign said player with their contract to the receiving team with no compensation based on the receiving teams’ claim. The second option is that the two teams have 48 hours to work out a trade for the waived player.
