Trading between teams can be accomplished in many ways. Three of the most efficient ways to begin negotiating a trade with another team are: (1) Go to the message board to the section entitled “Trade Block”. In this section, you can post the players you wish to trade and/or what types of players you are interested in trading for. DO NOT POST OFFERS ON THE BULLETIN BOARD; (2) Each GM provided an email to the Commissioner’s Office to act as a point of contact for their team; (3) each GM is encouraged to have AIM and/or YIM. These are the most efficient and preferred methods of communication, however the PM system also works well.
Note- Trading can include Major League Players, Minor League Players, and Prospects, Tags can be traded if they are attached to an expiring players contract, if that player is again traded the tag will remain attached to said player.
Any trade negotiations that conclude in an agreement must be posted to the message board under the section entitled “Trade Agreements”. All terms of the trade must be listed here. It is required that one team involved in the trade post the agreement and terms, while the other team formally posts his confirmation/acceptance of the trade as listed.
Please review the terms carefully. Once the trade is formally accepted, the rest of the league has an opportunity to voice any disapproval they may feel, the commissioner’s office will then review it and either approve or reject the trade within 48 hours. Once the deal has been approved, there will be no recourse and the deal is finalized. If the trade is rejected each team will have 48 hours to renegotiate.
Whether a GM is signing a free agent, waiving a player to free agency or trading with another franchise, you as the GM will have 48 hours to update your franchise's roster. This will avoid confusion as to which players belong to which franchises. You, at all times, must adhere to a 90 player roster and remain under your salary cap- except in the offseason. If a GM fails to update their roster in a timely manner, the GM will be prohibited from engaging in free agent contract offers or trades with other teams for a period of one week.
As with free agent bidding, PLAN AHEAD!
If the GM exceeds his roster limit of 90 players and/or exceeds the salary cap during the season (or if he exceeds either offseason limitation), there will be a 72 hour remedy period. Until the illegality is remedied, the newly acquired players will not be added to your ESPN roster. Failure to remedy the illegality within 72 hours will result in suspension of scoring in ESPN and all free agent bidding.
Remedy includes ONLY 1.) waiving of players to meet the 65 man roster limit and/or meet salary cap limitation or 2.) having posted and confirmed trade(s) that allow the team to fully adhere to a 65 man roster and salary cap limits.
Sign & Trade
Off-season unrestricted free agent signings cannot be traded until May 1st. A team which resigns their own RFA will be allowed to trade that player before May 1st.
