Trade Waivers Question

[PhilliesFan13]

Ok, this is something I find puzzling.

I play all 162 games in my Franchise every year since MLB '08: The Show. In doing that, I also keep up with everyday transactions to have my game be based on real life transactions.

Anyway, anybody that has been traded this year after July 31 has obviously been placed on trade waivers. Now, when I place said players on trade waivers in the game, it does not allow me to trade them after they clear waivers. I always get the message saying the trade was rejected. I control all 30 teams too, and I find this really odd.

For example, Chris Dickerson was traded from the Reds to the Brewers for Jim Edmonds, Mike Fontenot was traded from the Cubs to the Giants, and Jose Guillen from the Royals to the Giants today. Seeing as it didn't let me trade them after they cleared trade waivers, I had to place them all on trade waivers again and have their new team claim them instead. I'm not saying it's a huge deal to go the claim route, but I am just curious if anybody has an answer as to why trading doesn't work after clearing waivers.

Thanks a lot to anyone who happens to know the answer to this.

Re: Trade Waivers Question

I'm not sure why you are having this problem. I like you keep up with the day to day moves and have done all of the trades done in real life after the deadline. When they have cleared waivers I get a message saying I can now trade them. I then go to the teams page and click "make trades" and the guy that cleared waivers is on the list of tradeable players. I control all 30 teams as well and haven't had any troubles.

Wish I could help you but I'm just not sure what to tell you to do different.

Yeah, I get that same message saying I can now trade them, but it never lets me. It's so strange.

Re: Trade Waivers Question

I've had some troubles putting free agents on a MLB team and I've asked around and can't find anyone else who has that problem. It's weird that I can do the trade stuff but can't put fa's on MLB teams.

For example, I tried to add Chad Tracy to the marlins and it says I can't add free agents except between December 5th and the rule 5 draft. I've had to create every free agent that has signed with a team this season.

I've had the same problem, but I wasn't smart enough to use 30 team. I have been trying to do the Fontenot trade but the CPU won't let me trade anyone even after I have done the waivers and everything. I wonder if there is some kind of fix????
