> In order to implement this proposal, we would delete Section 14.6 and the

> can be activated, reserved, waived or traded by his League team, on the same 
> basis as if he remained in the American League, except that if he is waived he 
> may not be claimed on waivers.  This Section shall not limit the application of 
> Section 17.1.
