In reality, a three team trade is nothing more then two trades involving three clubs. Take this failed trade from yesterday, Blue Jays trade Michael Saunders and two minor leaguers to the Reds for Jay Bruce and the Reds trade Michael Saunders to the Angels for more minor league fodder. (Let's be honest, the Reds are looking for warm bodies right now) As you see, the Reds in theory could trade for Saunders without completing the trade to the Angels. The deals fell apart due to the fact that one of the minor leaguers in the Jays system was not healthy and apparently the Reds really wanted him. This is just two trades in the OOTP world, it would just look prettier on one line.
