Welcome to waiver season, where teams put their players on waivers and see who is interested. This process is mostly procedural, but sometimes trades can take place. When a team puts a player on waivers, they have 47 hours to be claimed. Once claimed, the claiming team has 48.5 hours to make a deal or the player's team can pull him back or hand him and his salary over for nothing.
