TRADING:
A. TRADING, GENERALLY:
1. Trades may not involve Money, Cap space, or Clauses.
2. Trades will not be processed on FANTRAX until 48 hours pass. This is to allow for objections to be made.
3. Mid-season Amateur draft picks may be traded. However you may only trade picks for the ensuing draft.
4. All teams that have been Year-Beginning verified may begin making trades and posting players to waivers immediately with other teams that have been Year-Beginning verified.
B. OBJECTIONABLE TRADES AND COLLUSION:
1. Trade Objection: it is asked that you reserve objections for those trades that seem to involve Collusion or are Grossly disproportionate.
2. Claims of possible Collusion will addressed by the league as a whole in a calm and patient manner, as they are severe in nature and must be addressed for the league to move on. There will be positions made on either side, and the league will vote on whether the teams involved should remain in the league if it is agreed that Collusion likely took place by 60% of the voters (all GMs except those accused).
3. As far as the Objectionable trade is concerned, 3 complaints about a trade received by the League Commissioners within 72 hours, a poll will be posted. The poll will last 72 hours. A minimum of 12 "No - the Trade should not be allowed" votes must be received for the trade to be vetoed.
4. Although some trades may not be severe enough to be seen as objectionable, GMs may not agree that there was fair value in a trade. In such cases, if the GM wants to let that owner know, the GM is encouraged to send a private message to that GM, voicing opinion and reason in a respectful manner. This has a two-fold benefit: it keeps things private and doesn't embarrass the GM involved, and it also allows GMs to know how other GMs feel about their deal (something they can learn from in some occasions).
5. Trade Veto Procedure has been established for the league for the 2017 season and beyond as follows:
Step 1: Commissioner gets 3 complaints about a trade.
Step 2: Commissioner makes the league aware of this.
Step 3: The teams involved in the trade have 72 Hours to make their case. If nothing is posted, it will be assumed that they have nothing to add.
Step 4: A Vote takes place on whether to approve of the trade or not.
12 votes against are required to Veto a trade.
**No team that isn't involved in the trade may make comments about the validity of the deal. They are simply to vote yes or no.
C. TRADE DEADLINE & RE-OPENING:
1. Trade deadline (to be posted on Proboards) will be 48 hours after the amateur draft
2. To be valid prior to the deadline, trades need to be agreed upon by both teams involved.
For example: Rockies conduct a trade with Cubs
Rockies posts the following:
"To The Rockies: Felix Hernandez $12,000,000 (1 year) ARB(-) OPT(-)
To The Cubs: Troy Tulowitzki $10,000,000 (1 year) ARB(-) OPT(-)"
The Cubs reply with the following:
"Agreed" or "Accepted"
Only after Cubs responds is the time stamp valid, not when the Rockies posts the trade.
3. In exceptional circumstances, when busy life gets the best of us, GMs may email/Tweet the trade and/or its acceptance to CardsGM or another Commissioner.
4. Trading will re-open after the Year-Beginning Process and Verifications has been completed for each team and Rosters have been verified for accuracy by one of the Commissioners.
