glad you are thinking about it.
as someone who began playing in the Jurassic Era, this sort of stuff was explicitly not allowed - and for specific reasons.
the simplest explanation is that an owner should always look for his own advantage.
"futures" deals tend to leave one owner agreeing to a later deal that, if not for the previous contingency, they wouldn't make.
ergo, don't make the deal and don't have the contingency.
I'm all for leagues choosing their own destinies, of course.
and I think "slippery slopes" are overrated.
but now and then, people go too far out on slippery slopes and they do get hurt.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Pablo Lopez is a good pitcher - and he's done some serious work to improve himself, and the results have shown and are legit. But even with that, he's still a 4ish ERA (with some improvement upside based on FIP), 8.5-9.0 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, mid 1.2ish WHIP (with some improvement upside to low 1.2s) pitcher with a decent defense and good park to pitch in. Solid guy, nice plug and play type, good #3-4 fantasy SP.
But Deivi Garcia has monster upside - #1 SP potential - and even if he wouldn't quite hit that, he has a vastly better offense and bullpen backing him up. And he's still free next year? Nice.
