You cant trade an injured player.
There were rumors previously, and yeah you can: Carl Crawford for example.
"Injured players may not be traded without permission of the Commissioner nor may they be optioned to the minors, though they may be assigned to a minor league club for rehabilitation for a limited amount of time (30 days for pitchers, 20 for non-pitchers)."
So like I said, you can.
lol i believe you mean to say "yeah, but still..."
Commish granting permission is a special case scenario. As a general rule, you cant trade injured players. Thats why trades fall through when someone fails a physical.
