Will trades be automatically approved in this current period without a trade committee? Or could Kenny act as temporary one-man trade committee until a new one is established?
The reason I ask is because both of my trades have been made with free agency in mind and my FA strategy would change if one or more of the trades didn't go through or had to be altered.
(I posted this question originally in the thread of one of my trades but realized that this is probably a more appropriate place.)

The Tigers select high school RHP Sal Romano (originally drafted in the 23rd round).
Pirates are up (if they're still drafting?)

Thanks to PlayerX3D for working with me on this deal on and off for several days.
It was very tough to move Cabrera but the opportunity to land Hanley and Joyce was too tempting to pass up. I fully expect Miggy to be in the top 5 of MVP voting this season but I also expect Hanley to bounce back in a big way. His track record is too strong and I'm not seeing any indications that he isn't healthy this season. He might not like the move to 3B but I think he will enjoy hitting beyond Jose Reyes and will have plenty of protection in that lineup. I also think Ozzie will allow him to attempt SB's until his heart's content. And the move to 3B actually works out well for my team because I have Jhonny Peralta at SS and my 3B options were Brandon Inge and Scott Sizemore. Matt Joyce has shown that he is a consistently productive player and will certainly provide a long term upgrade over Casper Wells for me. Andy Dirks was a useful but not hugely valuable piece and Andrew Oliver could be a solid SP in time but I've lost patience with him after last season's struggles at both the ML and AAA level.

Thanks to snbts for working with me on this deal.
Rationale: V-Mart is obviously a productive player and will be very useful for the Marlins. The Tigers are looking to free up some salary for the next several seasons and get younger. Volstad will fill the 4th SP spot for the Tigers for this and several seasons at a very affordable price. His xFIP has me optimistic, as does his durability so far. I'm hoping that Wrigley field doesn't cause him to give up even more homers, though. Chad James has shown a great deal of promise and will hopefully be a major leaguer in 2013.
Marlins get better for this year and possibly beyond, while the Tigers get younger and free up some salary for free agency.

Tigers send C/DH Victor Martinez 2012: $13m; 2013: $13m; 2014: $12m
and the Tigers will pay half of VMart's 2012 salary ($6.5m)
Marlins send SP Chris Volstad 2012: $445k; 2013: arb; 2014: arb
and SP prospect Chad James (High A Jupiter)
Rationale coming in a minute.
(Edited on 1-17-2012 to include Detroit paying half of Martinez's 2012 salary in light of VMart wrecking his knee two days after this trade was agreed upon.)
