Trading DL players makes them active

I don't see a topic on this one, so I'll go ahead and post. I traded a player on the DL for another player on the DL. After the trade, the two players were no longer on the DL. This would seem to be a bug.

Could be, are they still injured however?

In real life, you cannot trade a player who's on the DL, so maybe it's trying to simulate that, however, if a player's 15 days isn't up, he shouldn't be able to be removed from the DL.

The two players in question were able to be traded. The one I got, I was able to place on my active roster; the one I traded, the computer AI put him at AAA, not the DL ... he was a starter when healthy, so this suggests the AI knew he was still hurt.

As for the guy I got, I hid him in AAA for the remainder of his DL stint, to be fair. He was a starting pitcher, so the day before he was to be activated, I stuck him on my 25-man roster to cover for an injured player, and made sure his turn in the rotation wasn't due for a coupla days. The next "day" I got an e-mail telling me he was eligible to be activated from the DL (of course, he wasn't on the DL any more).

Hope this helps!

If you traded someone from your DL why would he automatically be placed on the DL of another team. In MLB first you can trade an injured player, but its only done in rare circumstance (and I believe the receiving team must sign a waiver not to protest receiving injured goods) (generally only done down the stretch of the season at the deadline, if the player will be healthy enough to help down the stretch) but then the new team would have to go through getting him a doctors note to put him back on the 15 day DL, I believe they can make it retroactive, but I'm not sure on this. In any event, this game doesn't have retroactive DL's and the player would have to be placed on the AI's DL for 15 days following the trade and if the injury isn't that serious (I.E. duration shorter than 15 days left) then it will just keep the guy in AAA and wait for the injury to end before promoting them.

Is there a chance the injured player had less than 15 days left on his injury?
