Also, could anyone tell me why the DFA limbo is so long? I mean does a player or a team really need 9 days to figure out what route they want to take? Considering the waiver period lasts only 2 days

I guess the “best” answer is that it allows the DFA’ing team time to try and work out a trade. You’re right, though — 10 days is way more than enough time to figure out if you can trade a player or if you’ve got to try and get him through waivers if you’re not gonna release the player. It kinda does the player a disservice.

Glad to have Maier back.
