When the Yankees claimed Seaver, they started a clock.  At the
expiration of that clock, the White Sox had to 

	(1) Withdraw Seaver from waivers,
	(2) Trade him to the Yankees, or
	(3) Release him outright.

Apparently, the Yankees did not offer enough, as the Sox went with
(1).  Moreover, since they withdrew him from waivers, they may not
place him on waivers for the rest of the year, i.e. he will stay on
the Sox the rest of the season.

Final note: Seaver would not have been permitted to pitch after the
season, as the Yankees would have acquired him AFTER August 31.
