[quote:9f3eec1a90="2cityfan"]mbrake.. I am not sure I fully understand your trade guidance above...
If teams trade base players, does that impact the number of allowable supplemental players? For example if the Dodgers trade Furcal to the Braves for Andrew Jones.. (both Furcal and Jones have been both Braves and Dodgers so this trade should be allowed); does Furcal count as a supplemental free agent against the Braves allowable total... and same question for the Dodgers.. does Andrew Jones count against the Dodgers allowable total of supplemental free agents?.. Please advise..
thanks[/quote:9f3eec1a90]
All players belong to their base card team exclusively. In this particualr case, (since the Braves & Dodgers are both in the league and thus are considered base teams), then A. Jones is a base player for the Braves and R. Furcal is a base player for the Dodgers. They can only exclusively play for their base team the entire year. They are off limts to [b:9f3eec1a90]ALL [/b:9f3eec1a90]other teams by any means of acquisition (e.g. ineligible via draft, waivers, free-agency or trades) throughout the entire season. They are the sole property of their respective base team.
