When is mlb waiver trade deadline
But the Aug. If you are not in the organization before September, you cannot appear in the postseason for them. And while was an unusually short season, its Trade Deadline still had ample activity, with 17 deals made on Deadline day alone. So it seems safe to suggest that eliminating the waiver trade period is pushing teams to act while they still can.
They must make calculated assessments of their roster strengths and weaknesses -- and their overall ability to contend for a title -- earlier than they once did, and deadlines, by their very nature, compel action. It behooves contenders to identify and address areas of need as early in the season as possible and for teams potentially situated as sellers to market their assets early, as well.
Teams that wait too long to sell could find themselves swallowing a good bit of salary near the Deadline, because quite often it was the players on contracts that outpaced their production who cleared waivers and were moved in August. Veteran players on Minor League contracts in other words, not on a man roster could see their values to contending clubs increase as injuries or other unforeseen circumstances develop after the Deadline.
That means that when a team is trying to calculate its trade return for an impending free agent, it must try to determine if the prospect or prospects it is getting in return carry more value than the Draft pick and the associated Draft bonus pool money it would get if they give that player a qualifying offer in the offseason and he signs elsewhere.
