1) If someone is on a MLB team 40-man roster, I assume they don't have to do waivers? Or maybe they still do?
2) What options do MLB teams have for a guy who is out of options, but is maybe the 27th best player on their team, when everyone is healthy? Is there any way around this?
3) Can a player "waive his right" to be out of options (E.g., a family man middle reliever on the AAA--MLB shuttle, kids are in school, he'd rather stay put instead of moving to another coast).
4) Is there any sort of courtesy for the older AAAA player that ends up on the shuttle between major league and AAA?
