After the Trade Offer

Once a trade has been completed, the players are placed immediately in each team's Designated for Assignment transaction area. Cash changes hands immediately. Also, any players acquired by trade who were on their previous team's secondary roster must also be placed on the acquiring team's secondary roster.

Upon completion of a trade, each team takes on the full remainder of the current contract for each player. That is, if Player A is in the second year of a seven-year deal, the team receiving Player A is responsible for the full duration of that contract.

Note: Be sure to make any necessary roster moves and lineup / pitching staff changes based on your new trade before continuing play.

The Pending Trades sub-screen displays a list of trades that you have initiated but have not yet completed. Once a trade is completed, it disappears from this list.

You can click on the Delete button next to any pending trade to remove that trade from consideration immediately.
