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?
Yes, on your transaction screen you will see that each player on the active roster has at least an asterisk * and often other symbols such as ^ + !. There is a legend at the bottom of the screen. Players with just a * have minor league options left and they may be demoted without passing through waivers.

However if you want to take them off the 40-man roster you will have to put them on waivers. Players with a ^ can refuse a minor league assignment.
