Over the next month, deals involving players on 40-man rosters cannot be made unless the players have cleared waivers. A player exposed to waivers can be claimed by any team and -- if there are multiple claims -- the player would be offered to the team with the lesser record.
At that point, a team has 48 hours to either try to work out a trade with the claiming club or remove the player from waivers. A player can only be pulled back from waivers once, but if he clears waivers either the first or a second time through, a team can attempt to trade him to any club.

Teams risk nothing putting players on waivers. Also every once in awhile a team gets lucky and gets to unload a bad contract for nothing. Rios comes to mind. White Sox claimed him and Toronto said ok take him and his fat contract. If you do claim a waiver guy you can get stuck with him. Boston tried a few times dumping Manny Ramirez on waivers for nothing. Just hoping a team would have claimed him and they would not have pulled him back and let him and his contract go for nothing.

Baseball Waivers - Try this.
One thing to note is that the process of teams placing players on waivers has an element of secrecy to it. I don't believe that players being placed on waivers have to be announced to other teams. This is often why a player can sneak though waivers or "clear" waivers.
Someone please correct me on this if I am incorrect.
