August 5, 200619 yr Ive read this article before but it lacks some details, I was wondering if anyone could help clear it up. ESPN.com Andruw Jones Claimed on Waivers
August 5, 200619 yr Nearly all players get put on waivers after the trade deadline passes, and most are claimed. For some reason, the media thinks its a big deal that Andruw Jones was claimed, so they are running with it. The Braves have a choice to trade Jones to the team that claimed him, pull Jones back (meaning he'd stay a Brave), or letting Jones go to the team that claimed him. Unfortunetly for the Braves, if they want to trade Jones, he has 10/5 rights, meaning he can veto any trade.

August 5, 200619 yr To me this isn't that big of news at all. Manny Ramirez was put on waivers in the past but nothing happened with that. I'm assuming nothing will happen with Andruw Jones either.

August 5, 200619 yr I think the big thing is that ATL needs to trade him within a few days or else will be able to veto.

Sorry, he's getting them on the 15th (which the article says if I had bothered to read it ) QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) Not quite Feel free to correct me.

August 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Just about everyone gets put on waivers. It doesn't mean much. In this case, yes. Manny Ramirez getting put on waivers back in the offseason before 04 maybe(not sure which year it was) was a huge deal because it was irrevocable(sp?) waivers.

Manny Ramirez getting put on waivers back in the offseason before 04 maybe(not sure which year it was) was a huge deal because it was irrevocable(sp?) waivers. I thought he was referring to last year, when, IIRC, Manny was put on waivers (just like a lot of other players) after the deadline. Good call on the year: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1650053
August 6, 200619 yr There was a rather lengthy discussion on here last year around this time. Some said that nearly every player gets placed on waivers at this time of season to see what interest there may be, others argued that. I can't remember who won. Edited August 6, 200619 yr by Leonard Zelig
