So the players listed at the top of this post in () are eligible for the Second Round of Winter Waivers.  All players not claimed during the First Round are now either in the Free Agent Pool for Draft Day or Released (if they are on an American League Roster).

The Trade Season is officially open.  Remember, if you make a trade, both teams have to report the deal to make it official.  Also, if you make a lopsided deal - Let's say you trade one guy and get two in return.  That means you have 24 players and the team you traded with has 22 players.  If either team claims a player during Winter Waivers they HAVE TO WAIVE a player.  The 23 man roster was simply to start Winter Waivers.  From this point forward there is no limit to player requirement.  Simply that during the Winter Waiver process for every player you acquire, you must waive a player.

Winter Waivers 2012-13 Officially Submitted

It's official.  Below is the list of Winter Waivers.  Before you dive into the list, here are the rules going forward (also available in the Constitution).

1)  Your Winter Waiver Claims for Round 1 must be submitted no later than 3pm on Thursday, January 10th, 2013.
2)  There is no limit to the amount of player you claim, BUT for every player being added to your team, one must be waived.  So if you submit four claims and want all four (should they pass to you) you MUST submit the names of four player you want to waive from your current roster.  If you submit four claims but only one name for waiving, you will receive a maximum of one player.  I WILL NOT chase you down to see if you meant to waive more players.  Any question - please e-mail me.
3)  The salary listed next to the player is the salary that you will get that player at with a contract of 15+.  If there is a minor leaguer on the waiver list, his contract will remain Mx.
4)  A by-product of the Winter Waivers is that at the conclusion of the first round (3:01pm Thursday, January 10th, 2013 - TRADING SEASON IS OPEN!!)

Winter Waivers

I would love to say the Winter Waiver list is below.  However we had a couple of owners challenged with counting to 23, so we're on hold for a little bit.  Since I wasn't able to access the internet much while I was gone, and I just got back into town two hours ago, I'm going to allow a little leeway on this.  Hopefully I will hear from the owners in question by early Monday and then I will have the Winter Waiver list posted during the day Monday.

For now let's assume first round of claims is due Thursday.  If this drags out we'll modify.

Thanks for your patience.
