I wonder what the number of trades that have happened for a player in their first year of a multi year contract? Certainly never seen it in a 5+ year contract but curious what the numbers are for 2-3 year contracts. It does seem like a no-no that would be bad for future extensions/signings to sign a player and immediately trade them. Yet fans always want those sort of deals to happen but don’t really make concessions to why that sort of deal would negatively impact the ability of a team to sign FAs.
