Is it possible to make a trade after the trade deadline?

Question

I heard something today that made it sound like trades can still be made but with stipulations. Is that true?

Answer 1

Players must clear waivers to be traded.

Answer 2

Players can still be traded from August 1 to the end of the season, but only if they clear waivers first.

A team can put a player on two types of waivers.

Most waivers are revocable, which allow the team to cancel the waivers and keep the player if he’s claimed (though they can let the claiming team have him). Players can also be put on irrevocable waivers, meaning the team can’t keep the player if someone else claims him. The Red Sox infamously put Manny Ramirez on irrevocable waivers in 2003, hoping some team would take him – and more importantly, the $100 million remaining on his contract.
Waived players go onto a list that’s sent to every major league front office. Teams decide whether or not to claim players. If more than one team claims a player, he’s awarded to the one with the worst record (though if the waivers are revocable, the original team can keep him). By the time August rolls around, at least half of all major leaguers have been put on waivers. The ones who’ve cleared waivers—in other words, not claimed by any team—are eligible to be traded after July 31. Everyone else has to remain with their current teams for the rest of the season.

Answer 4

Trades can still be made, but players need to first clear waivers. This is a pretty good explanation of the rules:
