Are waiver trades allowed?

[strut24]

This is a random question but I haven't reached that part of my franchise yet but if this huge waiver trade between the Red Sox and Dodgers happens and I want to mimic it on Aug. 25 of my season, will I be allowed to? Are waiver trades allowed and if not, how would I go about making the "trade"?

yeah you have to have your players clear trade waivers. The other teams also put players on trade waivers but you can't control who goes on waivers for CPU teams.

Ive tried to already do this and it says that the dodgers budget cant afford it

You can, only if you set manual control rosters for all 30 teams.

I do have control over all 30 teams, so do I just place all guys on waivers and then I'm able to trade them or how does it work? Again, I haven't reached the waiver period in my season so maybe it doesn't show up as an option yet?

I ran into the same problem before the deadline with the Dodgers, trying to get Victorino and Blanton, but I was over budget. What I had to do is, place the player on trade waivers like normal, then just have the team claim the player, when the waiver period is up dont pull the player off waivers. So the player get claimed and goes to the new team, it doesnt show a trade,but the player is on the team.
