The Kansas City Royals<\/a> and Miami Marlins<\/a> agreed to a trade on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Major League Baseball’s trade deadline was on Monday, but the two clubs didn’t break the rules to complete this deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the trade, the Marlins sent infielder\/outfielder Jacob Berry to Kansas City. In return, Miami received cash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why was this trade allowed to go through?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, trades are permitted for players who have not appeared on a 40-man roster all season. Berry, a first-round pick in 2022, falls into that category.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why trades are still allowed after MLB deadline<\/p>\n

“In all likelihood, you\u2019ll still see several players change hands this month, they just won\u2019t be very exciting,” Steve Adams and Charlie Wright of MLB Trade Rumors<\/a> explained.<\/p>\n

“But, veterans who\u2019ve been playing the entire season on a minor league contract and haven\u2019t at any point had that contract selected to the 40-man roster or been on the Major League injured list are still fair game to be traded,” they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Berry’s absence from Miami’s 40-man roster this season is why this trade is permissible under MLB’s rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The more exciting trades, involving Cy Young Award winners, All-Stars, and baseball’s top prospects, occur at the deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that doesn’t mean you won’t see any trades for the remainder of the season. However, they won’t be blockbuster moves for either club involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
