You still have Urbina on your AL roster and accumulate whatever his NL stats are. If you don't want him on your team, release him this weekend.

BTW, would you have had the same question if he had the save last night for the Phillies?

Way to call him on that one. If he had a 1-2-3 ninth with 3 K's and a save you wouldn't hear boo.

I would have asked if he had pitched a perfect game somehow because NL stats should not count in an AL game.

We allow stats to accumulate for players who get traded into the other league because without doing that the competition would be very luck oriented. Should you be punished for having your superstar traded to the other league? No. Granted, some leagues still play that way and I know the Founding Fathers wrote their book that way, but most leagues no longer do that and our rules clearly state here that you retain players's stats who are traded to the other league. Again, not doing that would be unfair to the participants.
