Looking ahead to the prospect draft, the rules say after 2 years I have to fish or cut bait with whoever I add this spring (so after the 2020 seasons). Rules also say prospects can be traded.

My question is, if a prospect is traded between this year's spring draft and the end of the 2020 seasons, does the 2 years start over for the team receiving the prospect?

MY GUESS IS NO...TWO YEARS FROM DRAFT

Good question but no. The only way the two years would start over for a prospect would be if someone dropped a prospect before the two years had expired and then someone re-drafts said prospect.

If anyone wants JD Davis of the Mets now all I need is your current pick this round.

Thank you

I thought we couldn't trade 9th round of higher draft picks?

That pertains to any trades you want to make. This rule doesn't pertain to the initial FA draft. You can't trade either your 9th or 10th round draft pick in any deal you want to make with another player. That's independent of the initial draft.

OK, but I got to admit, I'm not understanding what the difference is.

it is to simplify the future drafts where folks trade several players for picks etc and you get into situations where folks trade picks they don't have....

I like your answer, Ghost. I can see where madal is stumped. Hopefully things become clear moving forward.

take our peso draft for example...I have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds....If I had traded my 9th round pick I would have to cut at least 12 players as my roster will be at 40 before the 9th round pick ergo I traded a pick I was not entitled to....

Ghost, Fred, I get it now. For next springs draft, teams could have 10-15 picks, so you don't want someone trading a 14th rounder then not have it to give.

Thanks, Al
