It would be helpful if you could post how you got all these players i.e. who did you trade for who. I have been working on trading during beta testing and am fast reaching the point where I am burned out because people come on the forum and scream that they fleeced the AI in historical and MLB quickstart games but I have a tough time replicating the trades. It leads me to believe that they have some setting different then I do or they are not being totally honest as to the trade setting being hard or very hard. I am not doubting that you made the trades but to make it better I have to be able to show Markus how it was done and not just somebody stirring the hot button issue. I try all trades on various levels including very hard and with various trade frequencies as well as during different times of the season.
I tried to replicate what you did by simming the 1939 season and then making some trades as the Browns. I managed to get Mell Ott but I had to give up 5 players all 3 stars or better to get him. The game will be subject to these trades unless Markus changes the way trades are evaluated. Right now all players have a value and if you include enough players and or money/draft picks you will eventually tip the scale. I am not saying this is the right way it is just how it works. Maybe HOF players showed have a "no trade" tag although that would piss off people who would complain they can't trade for good players.
I then tried to flip Ott for Williams and the only way Boston would do it was for 5 more players plus Ott including the only two guys on the reserve roster who had potential. Now looking at the players Boston took I would not have made the trade because I know who Williams is and should be. But again I tipped the scale. The down side for St. Louis though is they are running out of players because I moved 11 to end up with just Williams.
As much as you hate house rules my personal feeling is trades in OOTP should never be more than one player off on a side i.e. 2 for 1 or 3 for 2
