What is the best process for trading players?

  1. Patience
    • Again, the pace of MLB Pro is by and large quite different than most OOTP leagues. Whereas a league that sims a week at a time, three times a week can cover upwards 80+ days a month and a season in two months, etc…etc. MLB Pro sims one day at a time, both during the season and in the off-season. Fully understand that you have time to be patient and search for deals.
  2. Advertising availability
    • There are numerous options and avenues to make it known you are seeking trade offers. Whether it’s the Slack Trade Block channel or general chat, the website’s message board and front-page (if you ever want to post something there, just let Matt know via Slack), as well as using the league’s @annonymous_gm in Slack.
