OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - New to the game...of baseball itself. Question about DFA and waivers.

So this question is more about baseball generally than about OOTP in particular, though it goes to the underlying issue of how to use the transactions screen.

So if you want to drop a player to the minors, you have to put him on waivers first, wait till he clears, and then you can move him. Assuming he can be moved. (I get that some players can't be moved, for contract reasons, or something.) Is that basically correct?

In the interface a player can appear on the Waivers list and the DFA list at the same time. Is there a circumstance in which a player can be assigned to somewhere other than the 40 man roster *without* having to go through waivers?
