In my earlier article on the new trade deadline rules, I mentioned that trade assignment waivers have been abolished. In this article, I will talk a bit about the game-playing associated with trade assignment waivers and why it’s good for the game that they are gone. I also also discuss two additional types of waivers that are also no longer part of the game. Many of you might be surprised that these types of waivers ever existed. I will also take you on a stroll down memory lane, as there are some very interesting bits of Cardinals history associated with them, including a fan favorite.
