i had the yankees in mind. i dont think the tigers are that big of a risk to just let him go but its definitely something to keep like the fricking royals from claiming him

and in case anyone was wondering, the priority goes by league, and then win loss record

so now every AL team will have a chance to claim him before any NL team. so the astros are like 15th on the list

Yeah or Cleveland, who spent some dough this offseason and isn't traditionally a high payroll team. It will be interesting to see what happens

If the Royals claimed JV and the Tigers said "fine, keep him," the KC owner would have a heart attack.

With revocable waivers, neither team is forced into anything. That's why teams put a lot of their players on waivers and then just pull them back I'd they're claimed. And why teams make claims just to block the competition.

In that case, the Royals just don't come to an agreement and the Tigers revoke their claim.

If the Tigers put Verlander on waivers a 2nd time and a team claims him, they MUST make a trade or the claiming team assume the contract. There's no pulling the player back.

From what I understand the Tigers can absolutely just let him go for free if the Royals claim him if they want to. I don't know how Verlander's no trade clause factors in though

That's bullshite, if you claim him to block someone else from making a trade you should be stuck with his money if Detroit lets him go

He can't block a team from picking him up through waivers, only through a trade

They would. If the royals claim him, and the tigers don't work out a trade or take him off waivers with 48 hours, the rangers would then have him for nothing and be responsible for his contract

Notably, Crasnick reminds that Verlander’s no-trade protection would allow him to even veto a claim in the unlikely event that a club places a claim and the Tigers were willing to let him go for nothing.


Ill admit could be wrong on the Tigers ability to just say goodbye and dump the whole contract on a claiming team rather than try to work out a trade.

I am pretty sure they can. Otherwise nobody would pass through waivers and get dealt. If you're the lowest end contending team why wouldn't you just claim every player being passed through then pull it back if there's no risk.

They can trade him, take him off waivers, or just release him to the claiming team

So other than "just don't make a claim" what's the protection for a claiming team that the waiver team doesn't act in bad faith, refuse to agree to a trade and then just dump the whole contract in order to get completely out from under it.

You don't have to claim him to make a trade though right? If he goes unclaimed for the 47 hours then they can negotiate with anyone for 2 days?

There is none. That's the risk. However, most teams don't like giving away players away for nothing
