So other than "just don't make a claim" what's the protection for a claiming team that the waiver team doesn't act in bad faith, refuse to agree to a trade and then just dump the whole contract in order to get completely out from under it.


None. Don't claim players you're not willing to take contract and all. That's also why players like Verlander are likely to pass through waivers.

There are a few examples of teams claiming players to block other teams and then getting stuck with players/contracts they don't want.

The 2012 Dodgers-Red Sox deal was a waiver trade because the major leaguers involved were like James Loney and those three monstrous Boston contracts going to LA
