Past experience with the Riptorns in other leagues taught me that it  allows 
an avenue for monkey business.  It allows a front running team to  essentially 
trade a player to the last place time long after the trading  deadline.  The 
Riptorns used this to get very favorable deals with the  last place team by 
including this future consideration.  The  Riptorns then held onto the valuable 
player until just before the  end of the season at which point in time they 
waived the player with the  understanding that he would be picked up by the last 
place team.
 
I confess that it isn't a strategy that I ever would have thought up, but  
you all know that those Riptorns were sneaky bastages.  Let's close the  
loophole.



I can't believe I never thought of that.
