Turns out you can't trade for June picks. Oh well. I think the Pirates still have plenty of growing talent in that system.

Isn't there a limited window of time before the PTBNL must be named?

I'm not sure. I just know it's been used to trade people that can't because of draft date.

I'm pretty sure a PTBNL hasn't been a player recently drafted. Usually it's a player announced a few weeks or a few months later. I can't recall any trade where it's nearly one year later.

Ah you're right. It seems a PTBNL must be sent within 6 months.

Thanks, didn't know there was an exact rule.

I agree, the prudent thing may be to hold onto some of these guys and dump them next year at this time. Danks would be sold at low ebb, one of the practices that put us into this mess. Unless they want to slash salary |

I thought the rule was you can't trade them during the season in which they are drafted rather than a full year, in which case the PTBNL trick would work. However, I wasn't able to find a definitive answer with a quick google search.

I certainly hope not because eating some Rios and Peavy salary is going to be critical in getting a quality return for those players.
And dealing with a team like the Pirates, who need a Rios, likely will require some salary eating to get good prospects, of which they have several. |

If we can essentially use some of these deals to buy extra prospects off teams willing to part with them, I'm all for it.

Not according to the Pirates' MO. Their highest paid player is at 7 million, and their payroll is already some 40% higher than last year. Of course, paying to get over .500 and paying to win a World Series are two completely different circumstances.
