No, I approached the Yankees. For Ryan Howard, a declining 33-year-old with a five year contract at $23,600,000, I got two other overpaid older guys, but they cost me lots less and have shorter contracts.

I received Ichiru Suzuki (39), two years at $6,500,000, and Juan Rivera (34), one year at $1,200,000.

An additional thought, not that Ryan Howard was considered by other teams an untradeable overpaid veteran:

My memory may fail me here, but I believe that in iOOTP11 or 12 I was occasionally able to trade an otherwise untradeable overpaid veteran by offering him for someone else’s overpaid veteran, but if I recall correctly I had to add my own old guy during negotiations, not at the start, and that the other team’s overpaid veteran needed to be in the discussion before my old guy.

I might be wrong about that. Anyone else experience this?
