Waiver order is a system used in fantasy baseball to determine which team has the first chance to claim a player on waivers. The waiver order is a list of teams that acts as a tiebreaker if two or more teams attempt to claim the same player. The higher on the list a team is, the higher priority they have in claiming a player. The waiver order is determined based on the teams record, with the team with the worst record having the highest priority. In some leagues, a Free Agent Budget (FAB) waiver order is used, which is determined in the same way as non-FAB, but it is called "Free Agent Budget Tiebreaker". The waiver order during the season determines who has the first chance to claim a player on waivers.
