    Hope this helps a little. There are just more restrictions involved in trades after the deadline

    It's because he cleared waivers and he could be traded. The deadline for these types of trades is August 31.

    Thru the waivers, the teams give one player to a different team and then either later in the season or at the end of the season the player that the team that originally owned the player was going to get (usually a player to be named or cash) in return is sent to the other team.

    the 1st commerce is magnificent for you. Figgins is versatile and is excellent for BA, runs, and SB's. highway is a good closer, yet on a undesirable group. Cordero is undesirable because of the fact he's inconsistent and blows many saves. Plus, he moved from a glass's park to a hitter's park, so anticipate an inflated era and WHIP. the 2nd commerce is even, yet i could do it on condition that the 1st commerce gets customary. Then, you will particularly have adequate velocity to have the potential to lose Roberts. Uggla provide you some potential yet a low BA. Willis is sweet, yet Vazquez is plenty greater helpful and vast for ok's. wish I helped!

    As long as the player has cleared waivers then he can still get traded. That is why I still believe that the rumour that AJ Burnett getting traded will come to fruition.

    Yankees will go for him!

    trades can be done at anytime during the season too.

    It was because of the waiver wire.
