Why must 'out of option year' players clear waivers coming out of Spring Training that is before start of the regular season?

I emptied my 40 man roster to the Spring Training Depth charts after reading that it would not count against their service time. But now, when I want to make the “cut” down to 25, prior to the start of the regular season, the players I’m sending down to AAA who are out of option years have to clear waivers. Does this happen in real life?
