Chisoxfn Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Just wondering when the waiver trade deadline is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 There is no real "deadline" But after Aug 31st no one who is picked up can be on the post season roster. That is why August 31st is so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I heard deals can still be done up til the 31st too. is that right? Yeah maybe I didn't phrase that right... waiver deals can be done whenever. There is no end date for a waiver deal. But if they are not on a team's roster as of 11:59pm August 31st, they cannot be on the post season roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 There are a couple of loopholes but your point is correct. Playoff rosters are set Sept. 1. Such as a player on the 25 man roster getting injured after that point. That is how Krod got on last year. I thought there was no deadline. Now that I'm sure of that, I am wondering if the Sox will do anything in the next week or so. One thing I'm curious to know is what happens if they play this next week like the previous week. Would the Sox be willing to trade any of the guys they added. I'm guessing that the Sox won't sell. From the quotes made by KW during the deadline, they never once thought of themselves as sellers and I couldn't see them doing it now, but its always a possibility.

Even with an injury don't they have to come off of the 40 man roster as of Aug 31st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly sure how it all works, but the Angels Rodriguez last year sneaked in somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I believe ss2k3 is correct about the 40 man roster point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
