MLB Sign-and-trades?

Supposedly the Major League Baseball Commissioner's Office will allow the Arizona Diamondbacks to Sign-and-trade their Type-A Free Agent Juan Cruz.

Type-A Free Agents require a First Round Draft pick as compensation, and this seems like a way to get around having to give up the draft picks.

Juan Cruz's agents would approach the Arizona Diamondbacks with an offer from a potential suitor, and then the two teams would negotiate a trade.

As if this off-season hasn't dragged on long enough, this just keeps getting interesting. Who would have thought you'd still be talking hot-stove baseball after teams have begun reporting to Spring Training!
