I actually had an AI team claim a player I wanted during this save in 26. I was glad to see that. I usually look for bullpen help on the waiter wire. I’ve just played through the offseason before the 2026 season and feel like I haven’t seen as much “good” talent on the waiver wire. Mostly 45 ovr. That’s pretty representative of real life, guys on the fringes. But I’m fine with there not being as much claiming as real life. (Though it seems like my players historically have been claimed more often than I’d think.) As long as I’m not seeing many 50+ ovr players.
I will say I did adjust “player evaluation” to include more statistics this year. So maybe that’s had a hand in limiting how many players are going to waivers. (Drove me nuts seeing a pitcher put on waivers when he has a 3.50 ERA. That wouldn’t happen irl.)
