MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS: 1.) All players must be posted with their full name and real life MLB team. 2.) All players must have their full contract posted next to their name. Long contract terms may be abbreviated, but the full contract must be clear. If they're prospects, just note "prospect" or "MiLB" or "minor" etc along with their AAS. 3.) All trade posts and acceptance posts must include a short explanation of the trade from your perspective. This is often key to avoiding a trade protest. Trades will not be processed if all three of these requirements are not met.
All trades will have a 24 hour hold to allow time for any trade protests to be lodged with the commissioner's office. If no protest is received in 24 hours, the comissioners will process the trade at their next update. Please note, the commissioners will be processing transactions as often as they can but there is no set schedule. If you're making a trade for an extremely short term need (like a single matchup), there is no guarantee that your trade will process on your time schedule. Feel free to ping the commissioners after the 24 hours expires and we'll do what we can. For more information on how trade protests work, please refer to the league constitution.

I'm not going to hold up a deal over this, but understand that if you don't bother to complete this step you run the risk of having your trade referred for a veto vote. I would like to see us NEVER use the veto vote, but it's there as a protection against collusion. Taking a moment to outline your thinking and how the trade aligns with your strategy of team building is an important step to avoid the veto vote.

Can't speak for everyone but I also just like reading people's thoughts. It's fun, it can be useful, and it helps make the league more lively!
