Not sure this has anything to do with budget. If you are seeing make this trade work now then usually the AI does not like the deal. Perhaps the only guys the AI thinks would make this trade equal have ML contracts that they can not pay for. First year in the league is rough on trading teams do not have a lot depth yet. I have had no one pop up after pressing make this trade work when teams have money to trade. This usually means the teams want a whole lot more for the guy.

SS are also pretty thin in general in the game. The AI may think that 2 star SS is a 5 star or just not have enough SS prospects to trade. Also SP do not seem to have the premium in trades they have in real life.
