Actually this waiver period does not end until Sept. 28 th. A team HAS to put a claim in for him, he is not free to sign anyplace he wants. He certainly can be shopped around but prior to signing, that team must put in a claim for him. That claim, is good until the end of the business day the claim was put in, UNLESS a team with a worse record in 2009 then puts a claim in. If that were to happen, he would have to go to the team with the worse record in 2009. After Sept. 28 it reverts back to this seasons win loss record but again, no, he is not a free agent by any means.
