MLB 15 The Show: Recapping the First Full Game Stream (Pirates vs. Cubs)

Revocable waivers.

No need to worry about the big names it is common for them to be put on revocable waivers yearly. Both Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg were put on revocable waiver and claimed this past season.

I know many aren't fans of ARod, but it's more of a question of how this affects his representation in the game.

I'm almost positive ARod will be in the game. He is in the MLBPA.

The whole league basically gets put on waivers....I know how it works fellas.....just found it odd it to be scrolling in the news or transaction wire.

I used to work in media...we'd never post who got placed in the ticker..or on the wire we would just report the trades or actual claims with no take backs....

It's moot as its just a pet peeve...not game changing....just odd to me.

How else are you supposed to find out? You are kinda playing a GM in the game and they get notified IRL

Anyone know the reason teams put players like Strasburg on waivers? Do they just do it for the possibility that someone will offer an unbelievable trade, or is there another reason?

I mean in real life

Due diligence. Just getting ideas on a players value. Most guys usually go unclaimed.

They probably do it that way ( in game ) instead of having us click to another screen, they just put them in the transaction page keeping things simple.
