THE CUBS GM HAS AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!

This inst really a fair trade....teh Cubs are trading a great young player for a mediocre replacement, a expensive pitcher and some spect guy. Also he is giving a meh spect and cash, so this makes it even worse....

i agree

Cubs have no cash to give.

The thing that confuses me is that the team that takes on a chunk of salary also gives $4 million cash. According to the rule below:

Quote:

X. The League's financial status has been completed and all players have been adjusted to their real world salaries. All teams are on a budget of 80 million bucks, even though some are way over. If you would like to include cash in the deal, look at your "$ for Free Agents" in your financial report. This is your available cash.
- You can send up to 3 million dollars OR as much cash as salary you're sending; budgets will be adjusted accordingly. For example, if you're sending a player that makes 15 million dollars and a player that makes 3 million dollars, the most you can send is 18. If you're trading players making less than 3 million dollars, 3 million is the max.
- If one or more teams involved in a deal are over their budget, you must get salaries to match within 2 million dollars.
- You cannot send cash to another team if you are over budget.
- There must be one player from each team involved in each trade.

Isn't this trade illegal? The Cubs are sending more cash than player salaries, and more than $3 mil.

Tim is correct, the Cubs are only sending 300K in salaries to the Rangers.

CrespoBlows · 12-01-2004, 04:42 PM

The trade is not unfair, but it is illegal.

Once again the deal is illegal, Campos' salary is only 300,000 so the Cubs cannot send cash

No, I think the max is 3 mil, regardless of salary. I think it's valid.

edit: hehe, "nm" is unpossible now, for I have quoted you!
