braves rescind waiver
In my opinion not awarding Martin Prado to Boston would set a bad precedent for deadlines in the league. If you stretch the rules here and let one GM get by being 28 minutes late where do you draw the line. If I am 1 hour late to rescind a waiver is that too late? If I bid on a Free Agent 28 minutes after the 72 hour deadline is my bid still valid? What is the point in having a 72 hour deadline if it doesn't actually apply. Rules are rules and deadlines are deadlines. They are written down and all GM's in the league should kno them. They should be followed and enforced.
Sorry Roy that you are caught in the fire in this one.Hard clocks are for bidding, posting deals before deadlines, and the waiver clocks.Soft clocks are for making roster adjustments.
It is time to move forward on this one, because it has far-reaching effects on other waiver moves. The Red Sox are being awarded Martin Prado with no compensation due to the Braves.
