[USML Announce] Reminder re Trades to the NL

[Richard E. Robbins]

I want to take a moment and remind everyone about the current state of
Section 14.6 of our rules, which is as follows:

If a player who is traded to the National League during the course of a
season is on the Active Roster or the Reserve Roster of any team in the
League, that team may elect to waive the player at any time during that
season while the player remains in the National League. Upon any such
waiver, the salary of the waived player shall be immediately added (as
opposed to waiting until the commencement of the next succeeding Reporting
Period) to the waiving team's FAAB; provided, however, that in the case of a
player acquired in the most recent Rotation Draft or retained on a Reserve
Roster without having his salary deducted from the team's $260 expenditure
limit for the most recent Auction, $2 shall be added to the waiving team's
FAAB. The right to have funds added to a team's FAAB is limited to the
League team on whose roster the player appears when the player is traded to
the National League, provided, that for the limited purpose of this Section
14.6, a trade between League teams shall be given effect as of the time that
the trade is generally announced to the League. This Section 14.6 shall not
apply to off-season major league trades. 

Accordingly, if one of your guys is traded to the NL then you can reclaim
some FAAB money.  While you can certainly trade the player to another USML
team, the team who gets the player may not subsequently waive the player and
reclaim FAAB money.
