The following are the Post Draft Waiver rules per our league vote:
1. Instead of minor league free agents being available for bid during the offseason they would pass back through the draft. The draft would remain at 3 rounds length, but the player pool would be deeper.
2. At the conclusion of the draft there will still be players that teams want to add. We will implement a waiver process to address these adds:
- All minor leaguers that went undrafted will be subject to waivers for 1 week.
- Teams will submit a list of players that they wish to nominate for waivers.
- The commissioner will post all of the players as individual threads according to the order of how many teams asked for them to be nominated.
- All teams then have an opportunity to make claims and withdraw claims as much as they want for the entire week.
- At the end of the week players will be processed in the order they were posted by the commish according to the waiver order.
3. Any minor league free agent that doesn't get drafted or taken on waivers will be available first come/first served as an instant signing to the team that posts them at the standard minor league salary. This process resets at the end of the regular season when transactions lock and any unowned minor leaguer at that point would next be available in that offseason's draft.
4. Any minor leaguer released by a team between the end of the post-draft waivers and the end of season lock will be subject to a 24 hour waiver period:
- Any team can post to add the player.
- Other teams can post a claim in reply.
- After 24 hours the team with the highest waiver priority according the order carrying over from the post-draft period will win the player.
- If no one posts them in the first 24 hours after they were posted for release, they have cleared waivers and are available to the first team to post.
5. All minor leaguers going forward will have the standard salary.
6. All existing milb deals with higher values than the standard are grandfathered in. No relief for existing deals.
Additional Clarifications:
1. Each GM will send their list of nominated MiLB players via DM on Slack to the commissioner for inclusion in the post draft period
2. All MiLB adds will take place on this board, even after the initial post draft period during the rest of the offseason and during the season.
3. If a claim is made on a player within 24 hours of their release by another team in the league, all teams will have 24 hours from the time of the claim to reply to the thread and also place a claim. The highest team on the waiver order will win the player and will move to the bottom of the waiver order.
4. If you are placing a claim on a player that was not selected in the draft and not claimed during the initial post draft period and was not owned by another team in the last 24 hours the claim is instantly final and the player is awarded to the team making the claim. The team will move to the bottom of the waiver order.
5. When claiming an MiLB player, post just as you would for a free agent with the player name, team and position as the subject and "MiLB claim" in the body of the post.
Additional instructions with specific dates will be posted each season as a reply to this thread near the end of the MiLB Draft.
