| CONSIDERING MONEY IN TRADING | |||||||||||||||
| When trading players between teams, those teams are also trading the salaries of the players exchanged. In terms of trading, player�s salaries will be paid on a time served system. A team will only have to pay a percentage of that player�s total salary based on how long that player was on that manager�s team. For example, if the fantasy baseball season is 185 days long (estimated) and Player A with a salary of $1.00 was on Manager 1�s team for 18 days and then was traded to Manager 2�s team for the remainder of the season � Manager 1 would only have to pay 10% of that Player A�s $1.00 salary ($0.10) while Manager 2 would have to pay 90% of Player A�s salary ($0.90). (Note: when figuring out percentage, all percents are rounded up to the nearest hundredth of a decimal place � for example, 18/185 really equals 0.09729 � but this rounded properly equals 0.1 or 10%).
The percentage a Manager pays can be negotiated as part of a trade. For instance, if Manager 1 over-paid for Player A�s $1.00 salary, but wants to trade the player because he is under performing, and Manager 2 doesn�t quite think the trade is fair, it can be negotiated that Manager 1 will pay 50% of Player A�s salary ($0.50 instead of $0.10) and Manager 2 would then only have to pay 50% of the salary ($0.50 instead of $0.90). This, of course, is entirely up to the manager�s involved in the deal, but this can be reason for an outside manager to deny the trade should the trade need outside approval based on the Trading Tool. Should stipulations like this occur, they must be posted with a header that in some way describes that �These are the additional Stipulations of the Trade I just sent through� � perhaps titling it �Trade Stipulations� or �Adjusted Trade� on the same day that the trade is accepted on the Yahoo! site and before it is put under review. If the stipulations are not posted the same day as the trade "technically is accepted" then the stipulations are not a part of the trade. APPENDIX (added 06.07.07): TRADING FULL PAY PLAYERS From this point forward, when Full Pay players are traded from one team to another, the manager who added the player as Full Pay will pay that player according to Full Pay rules. That is, if the player was traded away before it spent 92 days on an MLB roster, the manager who is trading that player away will pay 50% of that player's salary. After the 92nd day, all players become Time-Served. |
