Misc. Info
Waiver Claim Priority:
Claims for a waived player are 'on hold' until the end of the waiver period. That is, waiver claims are not on a first-come, first-served basis. The league takes note of all the teams claiming a certain player and processes those claims once the waiver period has ended.
In the case of a standard MLB setup, teams from the AL have priority over teams from the NL in claiming players from the AL and vice versa. Priority is otherwise determined by reverse order of win-loss records as noted below. The same applies to setups with other sub leagues.
If more than one club in the same sub league claims a player, the club currently with the worse win-loss record gets the player. (If fewer than 31 days have passed in the current season, then last season's won-lost records are used for this purpose.)
