Ha, I never said that the claim had to be immediately. Just that they can be traded while in the waiver period. Edited July 31, 20196 yr by soxfan2014

Not to rehash that convo...but you're wrong on that man. Kemp just hadn't been placed on waivers yet, as the Astros had 7 days to make a decision. If he was, and was claimed (and he definitely would have been claimed by an AL) club, the Astros would have been only able to trade him to that club, or pull him back off waivers.

Yes, the decision is ultimately letting him go for nothing, releasing him or trading him....while on waivers. Edit: In the bolded, you're confusing that with the old August trade waivers.

A guy cannot be traded while he is on waivers (unless you trade him to the team that claims him). The process is: 1) DFA player 2) Either place immediately on waivers, or attempt to trade during 7 day window, or release. 3) If acceptalbe trade is not found during 7 day period, place said player on waivers in hopes he clears and can be outrighted to AAA, or release

My bad on that.
