Every year in training camp, basically every team seems to face some sort of anxiety regarding sending players down to their minor league affiliate on waivers, as teams are concerned that they may lose players in the process as another team may take a chance on them. Often times, these concerns are probably overblown — there’s probably some endowment effect in play here, and teams may think that their own players are better than other teams’ guys — and in general, most players who hit waivers around this time of year do tend to clear them and get sent to the minors.
