Claims will not be processed without clearly stating who you are picking up AND who you are dropping. If you have an open roster spot that needs to be stated in your claim. GM's will NOT be allowed to temporarily go over the roster limit 40 to make a claim.

Is there an easier way to find out if a player is a free agent, than looking through every roster? I looked through the free agent list, but many of the players listed all already taken. Thanks.

If you have the DMB software, you can go to "view", "Organizer", and select the players tab...scroll to whichever player you're looking for, and it should list a team next to that player. If the player is a prospect, then it should be towards the top witha 0- in front of their name.

Mets claim Sipp, Release Luis Rodriguez if approved. The 24 hour waiver period passed with the only claim going to the Mets. The Mets will sign: 0-Sipp, Tony Release: Rodriguez, Luis The Mets will go to the bottom of the waiver claim order. (How did I do Jim?)

Do the Mets really lose their waiver priority if no one else makes a claim? Seems to me that it's just like a free agent signing, then.

it's a technicallity, but a single claim shouldn't affect waiver priority if nobody else puts in a claim.
I don't care though...There are teams that need waiver spots more than I do.

It would be "just like" signing a free agent ... if the GM waited more then 24 hours. Staking a claim to a player within 24 hours of his release makes it part of the waiver process.

"it's a technicallity, but a single claim shouldn't affect waiver priority if nobody else puts in a claim."
It is not a question of how many GMs put a claim on a released player that triggers the waiver process versus the process of signing of a free agent ... it is the timing of the GMs' actions. A GM has a choice of staking a claim to a released player within 24 hours of that player's release - and thus utilize the waiver process - or a GM may wait until after the 24 hours is completed (and take a chance that no other GM claims that player) and then sign the released player as a free agent if no other GM previously claimed him during the waiver process or signed him as a free agent.

Good point. Thanks for clearing it up.
I wanted Sipp anyway, so losing my position doesn't bother me at all.

Starting with the 2009 season - there will be a slight change to the waiver process. In the past teams were not allowed to claim a player until the 'released' player was 'processed' away from the former team. Teams may now put a claim in for a player right after the player is released from the former team. You still must post along with the claim who you would be releasing if your claim is successful. League management still makes no promises as to when the claims will be processed as these type of moves rarely have anything to do with teams current lineups. This small change just allows teams not to have to wait for league management before they can claim a player. With the recorded times and the waiver order, any team can clearly see if they won the claim. If you need a claimed player processed for injury purposes, feel free send an email to league management alerterting them of your need.
