    Not a big deal though as I did forget to notice the July 31st date.
    Actually they do go on waivers. Its called Trade Waivers. When a player on trade waivers is "claimed" the team that placed him on waivers can either:

    a) Work out a trade
    b) Rescind the waiver
    c) Do nothing and let the claiming team take the players contract (normal waiver)

    If the claiming team rescinds the waiver, they cannot do a trade waiver again on that player for that season.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        My point is only they don't show up on the wire for all to see.

            I saw everyone that was on trade waivers in the game last year.

                Revocable waivers.

                No need to worry about the big names it is common for them to be put on revocable waivers yearly. Both Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg were put on revocable waiver and claimed this past season.

                    I'm not sure how this works but when a player misses a season by not playing the majors the next iteration of the show he's not in the game or he needs to be created. With Alex Rodriguez missing the whole season will he be represented in the game as a real player with his stats or will he need to be created? I know many aren't fans of ARod, but it's more of a question of how this affects his representation in the game.
                    I'm almost positive ARod will be in the game. He is in the MLBPA.

                        The whole league basically gets put on waivers....I know how it works fellas.....just found it odd it to be scrolling in the news or transaction wire.

                        I used to work in media...we'd never post who got placed in the ticker..or on the wire we would just report the trades or actual claims with no take backs....

                        It's moot as its just a pet peeve...not game changing....just odd to me.

                                Anyone know the reason teams put players like Strasburg on waivers? Do they just do it for the possibility that someone will offer an unbelievable trade, or is there another reason?

                                I mean in real life

                                    Due diligence. Just getting ideas on a players value. Most guys usually go unclaimed.

                                            They probably do it that way ( in game ) instead of having us click to another screen, they just put them in the transaction page keeping things simple.
