Trade Deadline Extended - August 19th

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Hey everyone,

The league trading deadline has always been August 15th of every season, but I realize I've done an incredibly poor job of making everyone aware of this in wake of the business of setting up the Amateur Draft.

Consequently, to be fair to everyone, I'm extending the trading deadline a week to end on Friday, August 19th, 11:59PM CT.  This will give all teams the week to hammer out any last minute deals before trading becomes existent throughout the playoffs.  

Be sure to keep in mind that trades made now can you help you out a lot come free agency/signing players/franchise tags/etc.

Thanks!

What about trading draft picks?

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Draft picks cannot be traded, as the draft has already begun. I will open up a new spreadsheet to trade 2017 Draft picks in the coming weeks.

Thanks Alex for the extra window
