If you place a claim on a player, you are potentially on the hook for his ENTIRE contract. For example, if you put in a claim for C.C. Sabathia, the team that placed him on waiver has no obligation to absorb any portion of his contract or work out a trade with you. The waiver process is NOT a two-way street. The team that placed the player on waivers can choose to walk away from the player and cancel the waiver at any time during the process, but the team that placed the claim on the player can NOT can cancel its claim. I say this in case people forgot what happened with Conner Jackson last year. I do NOT want to re-do this whole process and delete all the claims made to date, so please be careful folks.
