Okay, that's a huge difference... not if another team claims him of course, but at least we're trying to keep him in the system rather than cutting ties completely.

yeah basically just a formality so we can send him to AAA. Not sure if anyone is willing to give him a spot this late in the spring

so if another team claims him, that team must put him on its 25 man roster?

I don't think so, but the claiming team would then itself have to pass him through waivers before sending him down.

My bad, wasn't aware of the difference. Title fixed.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I wouldn't be surprised if some AL team gave him a shot. Solid young bat and can play multiple positions, though reportedly not very good at any. Sound like someone we had a few years back?

[Northside Blues]

Yeah, and Jake Fox has 10 homers this spring. Ten.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yup, and much like Jake, Max strikes me as more of an AL player. I know Boston had their eye on him at one point but I don't know what their 25th man situation looks like.

It's actually not a difference at all, in baseball. The terms are used interchangeably. If a player has been placed on waivers, he has been "waived." You may be confusing the term with a different sport: football. If a player is "waived" in the NFL, he becomes an unrestricted free agent (if he is not claimed by another team). Therefore, the term "waived" has the connotation of being released, in that sport. In baseball, "waived" = placed on waivers.

Good points.

[SouthSideRyan]

The issue is that there are different types of waivers in baseball, and depending on what time of the year it is, saying somebody is placed on waivers tends to have different implications

[Sammy Sofa]

Also a good point.

While I am aware that from a technical standpoint no difference exists, for better or worse the terms have evolved such that saying a player was waived is associated with unconditional release waivers. Assignment waivers are generally referred to as being placed on waivers.

Didn't we claim Fox off of waivers from Boston?

3rd rounder as I recall. If he's finally figured out how to hit a changeup, he could be a solid DH.

[Northside Blues]

Oh Christ, what was I typing. I obviously meant Ramirez.

How long does this process usually take?
