3037 - Waiver claims
More 40-man roster/options issues...
I just claimed two players off waivers. Both were on the major league rosters of their former clubs and both were out of options. The E-Mails I received informing me of my successful claims both said the players in question would be placed in my designated for assignment area. This is not what happened. Instead they were both placed on the roster of one of my minor league clubs, and neither was on my 40-man roster.
This should not have happened. When claiming a player off waivers, I should be required to immediately place that player on the 40-man roster. If that player also happens to be out of options, I should also be required to add him to my 25-man roster as well. If I want to send that player to the minors instead, I should be required to designate him for assignment and place then him on waivers.
