Trades must be posted and agreed to here on boards to be official. Niether happened here. Furthermore this trade cannot just wait as when trading opens up we will be in the new league yr and only up to half merrifield's contract can be covered. He makes $325k so only $162,500 cash can be exchanged in the deal. Sorry but new rule in effect.

Ouch don't know how i can cover such a big sum of money.. Ok This trade will finalize when trading reopens.

[Minnesota Twins]

The way I understand it is the most money philly can give you is $162,500 for merrifield

sorry, thought trading ended at midnight tonight.

also, thought money transfer was for free agents signed in the offseason.

-For trades made between the start of the new cap year and the All Star Game, teams can only pay up to half of the traded salary in the current cap year.
-After the All Star Game and until the end of the cap year, no restrictions are placed on cash traded in the current cap year.
-No restriction is ever placed on cash traded in future cap years.

This is confusing. I am not paying Merrifields salary Philly is. he is trading me 4 mil for Merrifield. i am not paying any of his contract. If thats the case i can add a draft pick and he is then paying 4 mil for a draft pick.

[Minnesota Twins]

The most money that can change hands is half his salary

[Minnesota Twins]

Pitt will have to weigh in I guess as he is the author of the rule. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong

[LA Dodgers]

If thats the case there is nothing in the rules if i trade him a pick for money outright so i'd make 2 different trades.

Let’s try this again. Merrifield to philly for 4mil in 2018.
