"Paul and bmilner trade:
Paul gets Mike Schmidt and the full rights to Lajoie who he already owns but now can use A's card
bmilner gets Robin Yount and Eddie Mathews"
Unfortunately, you can only trade the rights to a player as part of a Phase 1 trade--and as bmilner does not own Lajoie, he cannot trade him as a part of a 1-2 player trade. Phase 1 trades ended when the supplemental draft finished, prior to the initiation of Phase 2 trades.
Here is the rule for Phase 1 and Phase 2 trades:
Trading:
Phase 1 trades: each team is allowed 1 trade of 1 player for 1 "player" before and during the supplemental draft.
owners can trade player(s) that they have exclusive right to,---- for:
a player that they share rights with,--- i.e. a player that has a card for both teams involved in the trade. In that case, the owner getting that player, can decide to use either Franchise's card, and removes the risk of losing that player in the supplemental draft.
Phase 2 trades: each team is then permitted 1 trade of 1-2 players, for 1-2 players up until 7 PM EST, on the Monday the season starts. Note that you can only trade away players that have card seasons for your franchise.
To clarify: if you do not use an "A" trade, that does not mean you get to make 2 "B" trades.
