Joining a League
In order to join a league, you must first find one that meets your needs. You can do this by searching for a league that is public, or by asking friends if they are in a league that you can join. Once you find a league, you will need to click on the “Join League” button and follow the prompts.

Scroll down to the “Join a League” section.
Here, you can either join a public league or a private league. If you choose to join a public league, you will be placed in a league with other Yahoo users who have also chosen to join a public league. If you choose to join a private league, you will need an invitation from the League Manager (LM) to join that specific league.
Once you’re in the “League” tab, click on the “Create or Join a League” button. This will bring up the different types of leagues you can join, as well as some settings to indicate your preferred league size, scoring system, and so on. If you want to join an existing league, make sure the league is set to “Open” and then click on the “Join Now” button. You’ll be prompted to enter your team name and password (if the league has one).
Creating a League
Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is a game where you can be the manager of your own baseball team. You get to choose real players from the MLB and put them on your fantasy team. You can also create a league of up to 12 friends and compete against each other throughout the season. In order to add friends to your league, you will need to invite them via email or by sharing a link.
Enter the league information.
When creating a league in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, you’ll need to set up some basics like the league name, sport, and season.

Once everyone has joined, it’s time to draft! You can either do this manually (by taking turns selecting players) or have the system auto-draft for you.

League Settings
When you sign up for a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league, you’ll be asked to agree to the league’s settings, which include things like the scoring system, roster size, and whether or not the league will use waivers. Waivers are an important part of many fantasy baseball leagues, so it’s important to understand how they work.
Click on the “League” tab.
The “League” tab is where you manage all aspects of your fantasy baseball league. From here, you can access and edit settings for your league, view standings and statistics, add or remove teams, and more.
One of the league settings you can edit from the “League” tab is the waiver system. The waiver system is how players who are not on a team’s active roster are acquired.
There are three main types of waiver systems: Waiver Wire, Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB), and Reverse Standings.
Waiver Wire: The Waiver Wire system is the most common type of waiver system. In this system, players who are not on a team’s active roster are placed on waivers. These players can be claimed by any team in the league. The order in which teams can claimplayers off waivers is determined by the league’s standings. The team with the worst record has first priority, and the team with the best record has last priority.
FAAB: The FAAB system is similar to the Waiver Wire system, but with one key difference. In FAAB, each team is given a budget (in dollars or points) to use for acquiring players off waivers during the season. When a player isplaced on waivers, teams can submit bids for that player. The team with the highest bid will get that player when waivers clear.
Reverse Standings: The Reverse Standings system is a variation of the Waiver Wire system. In this system, instead of being determined by standings, waiver order is determined by reverse standings. So, the team with the best record has first priority for claimed players, and the team with the worst record has last priority
Click on the “Settings” tab.
Once you click on the “Settings” tab, you will be taken to a page that lists all of the different settings options for your league. Scroll down to the “Waiver” settings and you will see three different options:
-Standard: Waiver requests are processed in the order they are received, with the team at the top of the waiver wire receiving the player.
-Continuous: Waivers are processed every night, and teams can put in multiple requests for players. The team with the highest waiver priority will get the player.
-Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB): Each team is given a virtual budget at the beginning of the season, and they can bid on players that are placed on waivers. The team with the highest bid will get the player.
Waiver Settings
In order to understand how waivers work in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, you first need to know what waivers are. Waivers are essentially a way for owners to add players that are not currently on their roster. This can be done through free agency or through trades. When a player is added to a team’s roster through waivers, they are said to have been “claimed” off waivers.
Scroll down to the “Waiver” section.
In the “Waiver” section, you’ll see a list of all the players who are currently on waivers. You can claim any player who is on waivers, but you’ll have to wait your turn if there are other managers ahead of you who also want to claim that player.
The order in which managers can claim players off waivers is determined by two things:
-The date and time when the player was put on waivers
-Your waiver priority
Waiver priority is determined by your standings in the league. Usually, the manager in last place has first dibs on waiver claims, and the manager in first place has last dibs. However, you can change your waiver priority if you want to.
To do this, go to your “League” page and scroll down to the “Waiver” section. Next to each team, you’ll see a number listed in parentheses. This is that team’s waiver priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. So if two teams have a waiver priority of “4,” the team with the lower number will get their claimed player first.
Select the “Waiver Wire” option.
Once you have logged in to your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball account, click on the “League” tab at the top of the page. Then, click on the “Waiver Wire” link in the “League” drop-down menu.
On the Waiver Wire page, you will see all of the players who are currently on waivers in your league. You can view these players by position, or you can view them all in one list.
To make a claim for a player on waivers, simply click on the “Add” button next to that player’s name. once you have made your claim, that player will be added to your team’s roster.
Select the “Standard” waiver rule.
In the “Standard” waiver rule, any player who is not on a team’s active roster may be placed on waivers. Waivers are processed for all unclaimed players daily, typically between 3am and 4am ET. If more than one team places a waiver claim for the same player, the team with the lower waiver priority number will be awarded the player.
Adding Players to Your Team
In order to add a player to your team, you will need to place them on waivers first. Waivers are when a player is temporarily unowned and can be claimed by any team. When you place a player on waivers, you are essentially giving every other team a chance to claim that player. If the player goes unclaimed on waivers, they will be added to your team automatically.
Click on the “Players” tab.
On the “Players” tab, you have several ways of finding players to add to your team. You can search for a specific player, or browse by position.
If you know the name of the player you want to add, you can enter his name in the search box and press Enter/Return. If the player is available in your league, his name will appear in the search results.
You can also browse players by position. To do this, click on the “Position” drop-down menu and select the position you’re interested in. A list of available players will appear, sorted by their Yahoo Fantasy points per game.
Find the player that you want to add to your team.
You can find the player that you want to add to your team by going to the “Players” page and searching for the player by name. Once you find the player, click on their name to view their profile. On the player’s profile page, there will be an “Add Player” button. Click on this button to add the player to your team.
If you’re in your league’s waiver period and you see a player that you want to add to your team, click the “Add Player” button next to their name in the list of available players. Doing so will put in a waiver claim for that player.
Dropping Players from Your Team
In Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, waivers are used when a team owner wants to remove a player from their team. Waivers can be done for a number of reasons, but most commonly it is because the player is injured, underperforming, or the team owner simply wants to replace them with a different player.
Click on the “Players” tab.
Once you click on the “Players” tab, you will be brought to a list of all the players on your team. There will be a link for “Drop” next to each player. By clicking on this link, the player will be dropped from your team and will no longer occupy a roster spot.
Find the player that you want to drop from your team.
In the “My Team” tab, find the player that you want to drop from your team. Then, click on the dropdown menu next to their name and select “Drop Player.”
When you drop a player, he is removed from your roster and becomes a free agent that can be claimed by any other team in the league. You can only drop players who are on your bench; you cannot drop players who are in your starting lineup.
To drop a player, follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Players” page in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball.
2. Find the player you want to drop and click on his name.
3. On the player’s profile page, click the “Drop Player” button.
4. Confirm that you want to drop the player by clicking the “Drop Player” button again.
