Claim was made at 2:59 on 8/1. No action taken. If I'm not mistaken Morton goes to the Twins??
No, if a player was claimed, then a 72 hour negotiation period opens up between the teams. If no deal is made by 1:53pm ET on 8/7 then the Twins take Morton unless the Pirates pull back the waiver.
In FGM August waivers there are two separate 72 hour timeframes. The first 72 hour window is from the time that the player is placed on waivers until 72 hours later. The second 72 hour window starts after the first window if a player is claimed. This window does not start when the claim is made but when the first 72 hour period ends. The Pirates have until August 07, 2013 at 1:52:21 PM EST to either rescind the waiver, trade the player or let the twins have him.Shooter
