If you can't get the talent you need in the AmateurDraft or through FreeAgency, you can turn to trading. To propose a trade, go to your team's Transactions page, select the team you wish to propose a trade to, and click the Prepare Trade button. Then, select the players you wish to send and receive and click the Propose Trade button. You can select a maximum of three players to send and three players to receive. (To select multiple players, hold down the SHIFT or CONTROL key when clicking.) Once you propose a trade, an email will be sent automatically to the other team's owner, and a message will be posted in your league's forum and on the league's transactions page to notify other owners of the trade proposal.

In your team's Transactions page is a list of all pending trades for your team. From here, you can cancel a trade you previously proposed by clicking the cancel link. As well, any trades which other owners proposed to you are listed in this page. To accept or decline a trade that was proposed to you, simply click on the accept or decline link.

When a trade is accepted, it is processed immediately! As a result, you can expect minor changes to your lineup if you are trading players who are currently on your active roster. Players received in a trade will be added to low minors if they have no active roster experience; otherwise, they will be added to your AAA or active roster, depending on the makeup of your team after the players you sent away in the trade are gone.

Some important notes about trading:

• If a player is already involved in one trade proposal, he can not be a part of another trade proposal. You will have to cancel the existing proposal to include such a player in a new trade proposal.
• You can have multiple trade proposals at the same time, and to the same team.
• You can only trade with other human-owned teams in the same league as your team. You can not trade with computer-owned teams, or with teams not in your league.
• If you release a player, any pending trade proposal he is involved in will be canceled.
• You will not be permitted to propose a trade that brings any team involved in the trade over the salary cap.

Trades can only be proposed and accepted through August 31 of each season. Once August 31 passes, you will not be able to propose a trade until the start of the next season (after players age, potentially retire, etc.).
