How come I keep getting trade proposals after the deadline?

I think I noticed this a little in an older version of OOTP ('16, maybe) but in the new version, I've found that I keep getting trade proposals - a lot trade proposals - after the July 31st trade deadline. All involve players in MLB and on the 40-man roster, too.

I'm currently in September (the 20th, I think) and I was just offered Lorenzo Cain for one of my starting OF. Not sure why this is happening. Oh, I can accept the trades, too.

You can make trades after the deadline. The players will be placed on waivers automatically. If they all clear, the trade goes through. If not, the players return to their original rosters.

and you can trade minor league players anytime, even after the "deadline".

I didn't realize they had to clear waivers. Thanks for the info.

Just to clarify this, the players only need to clear waivers after the trade deadline. The official name of the "deadline" is the "non-waiver trade deadline".
