Is it possible to trade for draft picks in the regular season draft?

No. It isn't possible, because you can only trade players and points. I wish you could, though.

Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter that much, because the CPU never picks the best players anyway. They typically pick the catchers andother fielders instead of the pitchers. It would be easier, too. If Konami actually makes MLBPP 2009, then that's something they should add in, but only if they expand the season mode from 10 years to 20 years.

Are you even allowed to trade draft picks in the MLB?

Nope. It's an on-going topic of debate, but without an enforced salary cap (and floor) it would be a disaster. Small market teams would essentially be forced to sell their top picks to big market teams. The league would become even more unbalanced.

I thought so. I never saw any draft picks in trades so I just assumed they couldn't be traded.
