I kind of agree - you're right. The issue here hasn't actually popped up before. Usually when players are added to waivers it's on the day they debut. So waivers runs 3-4 days, past the 48-hour waiting period and there's no ambiguity. In this case, Spanky added Dodd to debut waivers before his appearance (like two days before). That would have been fine, but Spanky ideally would have extended the waiver period past 8PM tonight. He didn't do that, and Dodd came off waivers almost 24 hours before the 48-hour waiting period, confusing you. I think the rule should actually be clarified with an addendum to the current phrasing: Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers. Waivers should expire at least 48 hours after their MLB debut. So if a player debuts on Tuesday waivers should not expire until at least Friday.

wat. These issues have popped up since the start of the DDL like 10 years ago. There has never been more arguing over minutiae than there was in the first 2-3 years of the DDL.
-
So the chain of events here is: - Dodd illegally claimed on April 2nd. - Instead of dropping him to the FA pool, Spanky put him through debut waivers. - Spanky announced that he did so in the league chat on BORED (his status also would have shown as waivers on the FA list) - He came off waivers at 1AM this morning after ~4 days on debut waivers. Nobody made a claim on him. - TCA legally scooped him as a Free Agent at 7:30 AM - If Dodd hadn't been put on waivers (and cleared) he would have been eligible to be added at 8 PM ET tonight. But TCA didn't have to wait because every owner had a crack at him via debut waivers.

Right. I think it was jaysblue back in Yahoo days. Possibly DDL?
-
In BORED? I have no recollection of it if it did happen. I think there's also functionality to remove those stats from the matchup after the fact.
-
I berate them on BJMB I don't think its ever happened though

Reminder of the relevant section from the league rules: 2.3 Adding Players Owners are free to add any unowned player with at least one MLB game of experience. During the season, adds are restriced to 6 per week. There is no limit to adds during the offseason. Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers.

That’s a real nice waiver pickup
-
He's not, but either way, AA didn't acquire Murphy to back up d'Arnaud. The plan was clearly to DH a catcher most days they weren't starting. But Snit seems inexplicably married to Ozuna in that spot.
-
Ozuna is the puzzling one. Murphy is just straight up a better hitter at this point.
-
Sean Murphy is sitting for the 3rd time in 6 games. AA must not be super thrilled with Snit’s handling of his big offseason addition.
-
Olli marmol doesn’t seem like the smartest guy
-
You can disallow green flag adds, but many green flags are actually eligible to be added, so that would be too blunt
-
I’ll message him
-
Manny should start following the rules. He wasn't even close to ready when time expired.

GDT:game 2/4 Toronto Blue Jays @ Kansas City Royals (7:40pm ET)
BTS replied to BTS's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Varsho not hitting cleanup. Surely this will make for a more peaceful GDT. -
Kikuchi vs. Bubic
-
This won't end well for you.
-
I'll try to turn this ship around
-
My god. Nothing but belt-high fastballs over the plate. That's how you get knocked around my the worst lineup in baseball.
-
Getting lit up by the Royals is very bad
-
Not sure what Toronto is supposed to do if Singer keeps getting the 2-seamer 4 inches off the plate
-
He should absolutely be benched for it.
-
Forgot how many outs there were. He was sauntering over to 2nd watching the OF track the ball.
-
How does Kirk not score on that?
