We're creating a glossary of terms that explains baseball transactions. We hear "service time," "arbitration" and "designated for assignment" constantly; it's time to create a reference tool that explains these terms to MLBTR readers. Here's what we have:
- Arbitration
- August Trades
- Designated For Assignment
- Draft Order
- Free Agency And Qualifying Offers
- The International Signing Period
- Journalistic Jargon
- July 31st Trade Deadline
- Major League Contracts
- Minimum Salary
- Option Years
- Pete Incaviglia Rule
- Players To Be Named Later
- Qualifying Offers
- Recommended Bonuses
- Rule 5 Draft
- Service Time
- Super Twos
- Ten And Five Rights
- Transactions Calendar
- Two-Sport Athletes
Can you explain “waivers.”
