MLB Trade Rules with Free Agents

I notice in OOTP you can trade free agents the day after you sign them. Speaking of the Free Agent period at seasons end. Doesnt MLB have a rule that you cant trade a Free Agent signed for a certain amount of time?

Its really a loophole...if you have the cash, you can buy the free agent then turn around and trade that free agent for a player on another team you might want.

July 12th, to be precise. Yes, this would be an option I'd like to have added, although I'm not sure how easy it would be to code.

June 15th, not July 12th, unless the player agrees to the trade.

One of my biggest problems is guys signing players to long term deals and then trading them.
