Yeah, it wasn’t initially announced that he would go down when the deal was first announced.

The big question is why he didn’t have an orange + instead of a green one…

How Fantrax works.

If a player is on the IL I have to go in and edit to put the player on waivers.  I typically only do this for guys that are worth being claimed and it is pretty rare for guys to not get drafted and be worth picking up.  It becomes a pain because I typically have to edit their waiver period multiple times.

In Giolioto's case it didn't work because you jumped the gun.  We would have to have a paid league to remove players from the player pool that aren't on major league teams.  Those are all the guys with the blue flags and 99% of the time they aren't worth doing anything about because they aren't coming back.  In Giolito's case once he gets assigned to the minor leagues he would have gone from a blue to green flag and that would have removed him from the player pool.  Once he gets called up then he would be added back into the pool and would have to go throguh waivers and he'd get an organge button. 

I didn't do anything with Giolito because he isn't great and didn't think someone would add him.
