They don't actually exist at this moment though. Technically, I have nothing to trade until the window in time between when minor league cuts are made and the draft. EDIT: Slightly misread your post, so this isn't as relevant. I do see a loophole in the language though, meaning if I trade the rights to a pick, but decline to make the necessary roster move to actually be awarded the pick, the person I traded with is SOL. This would be the dick move to end all dick moves, but it's theoretically possible.
My (situationally biased) opinion is that it's lame that we can't trade our picks ahead of time as a way of not having to cut the minor leaguers we already have. It seems like that should
also be the owner's perogative if that's how they want to manage their farm system. Instead, we're potentially penalizing teams in a weird way.
