Trade Amendment Discussion

[Royals GM]

1) If a trade goes 10 days without approval or veto, the trade passes.
2) Trades that occur between May and August require half of that season's salary to be paid by each team. All years after are the responsibility of the receiving team.
3) The teams responsible for a players salary in case that he was trade multiple times between multiple teams will be: 1/2 for the original team, 1/2 for the current team.

Discussion or seconds....

[Mets GM]

i like the 10-day rule but i dont really like the split-salary rule, considering there is a rule in place that says we cannot trade money or cap space. i also am not 100% clear in the reasoning behind such a rule. is it to prevent salary dump trades, or make people more financially responsible in free agency bidding, or something else?

basically, just think the salary rule just makes trading players much more complicated and confusing than it has to be.

[Royals GM]

Alright. I figured there would be opposition to it.
We are down to:

1) If a trade goes 10 days without approval or veto, the trade passes.

[Mets GM]

that sounds good to me. what does everyone else think?

[Phillies GM]

I agree with Mets (again)

[Royals GM]

Now that there is only one part left, I'll go ahead an put that up for a vote.
