I don't know why it necessarily should affect the shop a player offers. Just because I want prospects, doesn't mean another team is more likely to include them in their first offer. They have their own priorities/players they're trying to get rid of.

In any case, I can confirm that I have seen a few non-40 man players offered in response to shopping a player (playing the MLB quick start, trade settings on average and neutral). But I haven't played enough to say whether it's a rarity.
