[USML Announce] End of an Era

I thought contract had to be running already to trade a player before 6/1? Thus if you want to trade a prospect before 6/1, you actually have to activate him at least the week before you trade him.

If you make the same trade after 6/1, the player’s contract does not start running, unless he loses rookie status during the year.
