Waiver Wire scouting

Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram gave a good rundown of how teams approach the waiver wire and what can or can't be done throughout the day.

"Today and late into tonight, the pro scouting department will dedicate a ton of time toward evaluating roster cuts. There isn’t a 'first-come, first-served' element like there can be in other aspects of free agency. Teams have until noon tomorrow to submit a claim, at which point the waivers will be processed. Tonight is for evaluation, tomorrow is for targeting. Teams will not leak who they are targeting at risk of another team ahead of them in the waiver order swooping in and grabbing them. If a waiver is processed, the team HAS TO put that player on its 53-man roster."
