Disagree with this greatly, I do not believe this was the spirit of the rule and is a loophole.  Interesting to see a team that could make World Series trade away serious pieces.

Other trade finalized, so this one should be as well.

I dont get the reasoning here of a playoff team moving a legit bat for specs

[BHows]

Correct me if I'm wrong but since Philly is on the TC this trade needs 4 approvals?

Correct. TC voted 3 approvals. One more is needed.

Daniel, OUDAN, and Corey are still left to vote.

Maybe i feel like this because I am going against this week the Indians, but I feel is total unfairness team can make waiver deal and TC can drag this out where team can use player trading  then still gain on players getting for what was looking for long term. If this is going to be approved get it done and get players to teams there going to this is playoffs is not right to play guys that have been traded!!!!!!!!!!!

[OUDAN]

His team I guess its fair  :iatp:

The Phillies and Indians come to terms on a waiver deal.

Phillies get:
OF Choo, Shin-Soo, $13.5m (2014)
CLE pays $12m in 2013

Indians get:
MI Story, Trevor, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Hultzen, Danny, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Martin, Ethan, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Phillies get a good OF with a heavy contract in Choo for a couple of kids with good potential.  It fits my need in the OF for next year and Cleveland gets a ton of salary back for next year along with a couple of good prospects.  Fits needs for both teams.

Thanks Reid for the deal!  :toth:

The Trade has received 4 approvals and falls within the rules of FGM.

Im sure this will cause an up roar, but I will veto

Trades should not be allowed to happen at this point.

And we shouldnt allow a loophole to affect the integrity of the playoffs.
