Placing players on waivers isn't the same as designating them for assignment. If they go unclaimed, they stay on the Giants' roster.
With new trade deadline rules, if a player is claimed, the Giants cannot negotiate a trade. They simply lose that player without recourse.
Any team claiming Estrada, Rogers, or Matzek must accept their contracts, which includes Estrada's $850,000 for two years of arbitration.
Rogers is owed around $2.15 million this year, plus $12 million next year; his evaluation hinges on the performance metrics seen by teams.
