Bookmark the guys you like, but be aware that competition for waivers is fiercest after the season flip, so guys with two or three claims now may have twenty-five or fifty when free agency reopens.

By the tuesday night update, the game date will be September 4th. No waiver claims processed. As Haselrig said, these players will not pass into free agency. They will play golf / flip burgers until transactions reopen next season, at which point they will once again have to pass through waivers. In case you are wondering what this is about and haven't checked the manual, this is the relevant passage: Also, for fairness reasons, all free agents must be signed before September 1st. Afterwards, roster additions are frozen until after the playoffs.
