Can a baseball player be recalled from waivers?

Yes, but based on the type of waivers the player is placed on. There are waivers solely for the purpose of granting a player his unconditional release. These waivers are not revocable and any player placed on these waivers cannot be recalled if they are claimed by another team. If no team claims the player he becomes a free agent. There are waivers for granting a player his outright release. A player cannot be recalled from these waivers if claimed but, if the player is not claimed, the team can assign him to the minor leagues. If the player refuses the assignment he becomes a free agent. There are waivers used for trading players after the MLB trading deadline of each season. A team places a player on these waivers after they have received interest in the player from another team. They hope the team showing the interest is the team that wins the claim so they can make a trade. This trade must be made within two days of the claim and, generally, the player is traded for a minor leaguer or a player to be named later. If the player is claimed by a team that hasn't shown interest in the player, the team may recall the player from waivers. But they can only do this once per season. If the player's team decides to place the player on trade waivers again and any team claims him, they cannot withdraw him a second time and lose him to the claiming team.


If an NHL team puts a player on waivers and another team claims him how much of the contract is each team responsible for?

If a player is on a two way contract and is put on waivers, the team that takes him must pay all of it. If the player is on a 1 way contract and is sent down to the minors, he is on re-entry waivers. In this case both teams pay half of the contract.

Rules regarding trades in major league baseball?

During the regular season, trades may be made up to July 31 without restriction. Between August 1 and August 31, a trade may be made only if the player on the team's 40 man roster is placed on waivers first. If the player is not claimed by another team, he may be traded to any team. If the player is claimed by another team, the player's team may work out a trade with the team that claimed him. Should the trade involve other players that are on either team's 40 man roster, those players must pass unclaimed through waivers before the trade can be completed. Should more than one team claim a player on waivers, the team with the worst win/loss record is the team that 'wins' the claim. No trades may be made after August 31.
