Trade Reminder:
- A player who signs a big league contract or extension during the season, cannot be trade for three calendar months. (ie: Contract/Extension signed on 4/3, cannot be traded until 7/3) – During the season: Opening Day – End of the World Series
- A player who signs a big league contract or extension during the off-season, cannot be traded until July 1 of the following season. – During the offseason: all times that fall outside of OD-End of Playoffs
- A player who is arbitration eligible who signs a one-year extension between the end of the World series and day of arbitration hearings, may be traded immediately. This one-year extension is being viewed as an arbitration settlement thus making the player eligible to be traded.
