Happy New Year!!!!!!
Let me repeat my request from post 80. Please show me a major league pending FA who is a likely candidate for an extension who has been placed on waivers and not claimed? There has to be one considering how huge this problem is.
The above player fits into the very very small subset of this bogus problem that may be legitimate. I have monitored my leagues and not found any instances of such players. All of the other examples posted in this thread are players who don't require any extension for any reason because they are marginal players
under team control who don't need an extension and are not pending FA.
As previously indicated the waiver wire is cleared as the off season starts so any minor league FA who may exist who was previously on waivers can be offered minor league extensions because they are no longer on waivers.
