If the Relief Pitcher option isn’t set to Always Warm,
you’ll need to give your relievers time to warm up or
they’re likely to get pounded.

ASK NOMAR
My favorite team has lousy stats. Are we doomed to
keep getting spanked by the high payroll teams, or
can I turn these chumps into winners?
There’s nothing you can do about their stats, but you
can upgrade your team via good trades and the
Create/Train Player feature, which lets you develop
prospects and add talented rookies to your team.
TRADES
All trades are straight across, involving an equal number of
players from each team. You make the initial offer, the other
team’s GM will either accept or reject the trade. To keep
your roster current with the MLB™ team, you can override
a rejected trade.
ASK NOMAR
My favorite team buys all the best players. Can I do
the same?
You can’t buy players, but you can try to trade up. As
long as your team has 15 position players and 10
pitchers, you can go nuts. And
you don’t have to
worry about revenue sharing!
To make a trade
1. From the Main Menu, select Team Manager, and
then Trades.
2. In your team’s roster, highlight a player you want to trade,
and then press
A
. Repeat for
multiplayer trades.
3. Pull the Left or Right trigger until
the team you want to trade
with appears.
4. Highlight a player you want to trade
for, and then press
A
. Repeat for
multiplayer trades.
5. The players to be traded are
displayed at the bottom of
the screen. There must be an
equal number from each
team! Press
Y
to offer the
trade. Unfair trades will
usually be rejected, but you
have the option to override.
