Trade deadline???

[SweetD]

I am not clear on this trade deadline that the MLB has?? If the trade deadline is over how are teams still trading??

Basically what then happens after the TD is a team puts the player on waivers.. if he clears, then they can trade him to another team... it is more complicated than that, but thats kinda it in a nutshell.

If I remember correctly... if a player had been acquired after the 7/31 deadline and his team made it into the play-offs, he wouldnt be elgible to be on the post season roster.....

I thought that every player on the 25-man roster, before the September expansion to a 40-man roster, is eligible for the post-season.
