Well, already having a TC that MLB doesn't have - we have more need for approval.  Also, I think we all agree that the commish can step in at any point to void a trade if needed, outside of the TC's judgment.

Sounds good... I think we have something more along the lines of a guideline then a rule.  This guideline should be put in the rules to help GMs know what is generally accepted though.

I believe the current MLB rule is that all trades with an excess of $1M in cash changing hands must be approved by the commissioner.

Hmm, should we adopt this?

I don't support the addition of cash transfers in deals, because I believe that it furthers the advantage of the big market teams.  I searched for the MLB rule on cash limits, but there doesn't appear to be a hard and fast one.  During the Bowie Kuuhn era, I faintly recall that the limit was $1 million.  I know there is still a low threshold of this in real life, because the vast majority of deals involve trading 1 bad contract for another.  For example, the Milton Bradley for Carlos Silva deal may have involved about $5 million.

It looks like we have enough votes (four) to reinforce the fact that cash should only count toward a player's contract (and cannot be more than it).

I surely see your point M.J.  I think this is one of those issues that separates fantasy baseball from MLB.  Simplifying the cash considerations to just the player's contract keeps some train wrecks contained.

I agree.  MJ, when we were simply trading cash tied to players during the 2009 season and up until January, trades went along quite smoothly, and, as far as I can remember, no trades were ever really complained about (except for one, but that was my fault).  Once we implemented trading cash without it being tied to a player, trades went haywire.  Not so much in the fairness of the trades, but that many of them had a lot of members scratching their heads.

In the end, it really brought about a lot of confusion, and I think we in the RC were to blame for rushing the idea to the league.

I'm going off of the 'don't fix what isn't broken' theory.  We had a lot of success with how things were being transacted prior to implementing cash considerations not tied to players, or simply put, buying players and picks.

As Kris(Kdoc) said, it opens up a Pandora's box of issues, and they really need to all be worked out before we decide to implement it.
