View source for OOTP Baseball:Important Game Concepts/The Trading Model/The Trading Deadline

{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}Each league that has trading enabled has a '''non-waiver trading deadline'''. In OOTP, trading can occur at any time of the year. However, trades between the day after trading deadline and the last day of the playoffs are considered "waiver trades." In order to complete a waiver trade, all players involved in the trade must first clear waivers. Effectively, this means that very few players are traded after the deadline. Waiver trades are typically for very weak players who other teams would not want to claim off waivers, or for players whose salaries are prohibitive.

The Trading Deadline is a [[OOTP 25:Important Game Concepts/The Trading Model/Global and League Trading Options/Global and League Trading Options|league-specific trade setting]].
