Future Consideration Trades August 15, 2023, 09:28:42 AM Hello Are trades that involve "A Player to Be Named Later" allowed ? Or just a trade for future considerations and then in the next "fiscal year" so to speak the same two teams make another trade that satisfies the terms of their initial deal. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Future Consideration Trades Reply #3 – August 16, 2023, 01:38:18 PM Example:I a non-competing team this year trades a good player to team - B for a token minimal salary player this year. Next year after minor league roster moves and such we make another trade in that team -B trades the hot prospect to me for a nominal draft pick swap in his favor, say a 9th for a 10th round. Something of tangible value exchanged teams in both trades. I would be at the mercy of Team B that they would honor our overall trade agreement to make the second part of our bargain happen. As long as I am willing to accept that risk why not. OK within the parameters of the league . Quote Selected
