FA pickups are certainly transactions - what about trades? Under the standard DL rules - a fantasy team cannot pick-up a FA when a MLB player has been activated from the DL. However - yahoo allows fantasy teams to make trades. We had an issue come up in our money league where someone is stashing an active MLB player on their DL and making trades. Is this legal just because the system allows it or should the have to activate their player (and drop one) to make trades?

I am fairly certain the only transaction that falls under the 'moves' category is adds (FA or waivers).

Is this legal just because the system allows it? If it was not legitimate the system wouldn't allow it basically, and it is within the confines and parameters of the game.

In the past the system would not have allowed this, if a player was on the DL and was activated during the trade processing period the trade would simply disappear on the day it was supposed to process and you'd have most of the managers in the league wondering what just happened.

This newer system, while i do feel it is still slightly flawed, is the better of the 2 options.
