I've got a hunch someone is coming off our 40 man in a throw everything at 2003 move. First time ever for that feeling.

 

Still I'm happy we can win the division with what we got.

How does the waviers work? All i keep hearing is that deals will get done after the deadline? Do both teams just put the guys on waviers??

I belive that's basically the way it works. The players(assuming they're major leaguers) have to clear waivers, then they can be traded. Not sure how it works if Minor leaguers are involved.

Lets say the Sox want to make a deal after the deadline. If the player clears waivers, the trade would be just like a normal trade. If another team wants to claim the player or wants to interfere with the trade, the Sox can either pull back the player or let him go to the other team. Its a big risk for the other team though because if the Sox choose to let the player go, they will be stuck with that guys entire contract.

 

Hope that was clear enough.
