+1 Craig! Draft pick trading isn't part of real baseball. It's a nice option to have, but I can imagine it would be very hard to program, especially as there's no real evidence. I think, at this point, the OP finally gave us enough to understand why it's so easy for him. His other strategies are not a shock, but the AI doesn't appropriately value them -- and why would it?

When I play solo, I set the trading to very hard and I never get trade offers where I feel I am taking advantage of the AI, especially difficult to trade are players with big salaries.

One more thing to add is that while I realize people would like other issues fixed, the international academy and the way scouting international talent works is a major improvement in the game and something I didn't think ever worked correctly. A 16 year-old asking for a ML contract? Then having to use up three option years before being developed? Ridiculous. In my league, we've actually house ruled this and created a bidding system because we like the additional talent but didn't like the way the game worked. So, I'd argue it's a great fix and not just a new feature.
