My bad, missed the revision

 :iatp: Though if I recall correctly teams cannot pay more money on a contract in future years than in the current one. So Angels should pay 8m on Greinke every year and the Dodgers should attach an extra 6m on Gonzalez for 2013 for the trade to go through.

Then how was that done on Agonz contract?  This only came to light after the original deal was being processed so the deal was fixed for the money to match.

Well I am not too sure if this rule was changed or if it just was missed by the trade committee in the AGon  trade. But I do remember that originally in this league it was not allowed to prevent GMs from damaging their teams to heavily in the future to try to win this season and then quit the team after the season was over.

[Paul S.]

There was never a rule to prevent paying more on a contract in future years than in the current year.  There was the "Angels Rule" to prevent teams from going more than 30% over their team cap in future years.
