KipWellsFan Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 When does a player have to clear waivers before they can be assigned to the minors? After he is a certain age, major league years of experience or like a certain number of callups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been sent down a certian # of times you run out of options (and I apologize but I don't remember the EXACT #) and once you have been in the majors for a certain # of years (5 full seasons I believe, not positive) you have to accept the assignment or you can opt for free agency immediately.

KipWellsFan Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 Did Paul or Rowand have to clear waivers when they were sent down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Josh Paul did have to clear waivers. I don't think Aaron had to try to clear waivers, because he still had options left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
