Yeah with the way waivers work in MLB, Cleveland and Cincinnati essentially had first crack at each one of those players.
Claims go by reverse win percentage, not playoff position. And what I didn't know (and it seems like an odd rule) is that it resets for every player. So basically being on the fringe of contention gave the Reds and Guardians the ability to load up like this.
Still while Cleveland only has one team to catch, they are 5 games back. And while Reds are only 1.5 games out of a wild card, a lot of teams are in the mix.
Those Angel players seem kind of cursed so we'll see what happens.
