Contrary to the posts of quite a few people, trades do not involve players who have retired or have been delisted. In the interests of clarity, below is a list of retirees and delisting. If a player is on one of these lists then they will not be part of a trade. (The lists may not be completely up to date so please add players not mentioned, or supplement as new announcements are made.)
