I don't understand the waivers process. Don't bother explaining it to me, as a grown male I'm supposed to roll my eyes when people say they don't understand it. I really don't. So what, a team can choose whether or not to put you on something called waivers, and if you pass it, they get to keep you even though they could've just not put you on waivers... but while you're there, other teams can try to get you, but you don't have to go to them unless you want to, and then the team that put you on waivers has to be okay with that. But if both teams want you and no resolution can be found, the owners of the two teams participate in a series of camp events (go karts, a test of knowledge, etc.) with a "who can explain the infield fly rule to a lady fastest" tiebreaker. Right?Oh I don't know. Manny Ramirez was put on waivers and the White Sox are probably going to get him. This is my interpretation of that news. Today's Dugout follows.
