i was under the impression that a team could not trade draft picks (in mlb).  Why were Marlins/Pirates able to trade including the #39 overall pick?

MLB allows teams to trade compensatory picks and the bonus pools associated with them, a new feature of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. Previously, teams were not allowed to trade draft picks.
