No but I have had occasions where I could trade an overpaid crappy player for another overpaid crappy player with a shorter contract. Some would call it an AI exploit.
The other thing that I do that real teams don't seem to do is if they are in the last year of the contract I just cut them. You are going to pay for them either way. Might as well free a roster spot.
It probably would not work but you could try to waive the player and see if anyone claims him. Unlikely but you never know. I have been presently surprised when I DFAed a guy I was going to cut and waived him and someone actually picked him up. It is always best to waive and DFA a guy who you are going to cut you might get lucky and someone else picks up the contract. I wish OOTP would follow MLB rules here where a player has to be waived before being cut. The AI could sometimes save some money.
