I think the real issue is that the AI NEVER wants to take on money in trades. The Tigers, a big market team, won't even do it.

to me this says the problem is that the AI is better than real gms. dont forget he has another 2.5m next year too
hairston right now is a below replacement level player who is 33, cant field and isnt hitting. in a standard ootp game you could find his production as an aaa call up or free agent.
dont get me wrong the trade AI can always be improved and I would like to see prospects offered when you shop around (even though you can get them if you try), but no team wanting scott hairston is far from "silliness". ive definitely managed to dump salary before too, if you are looking for just prospects you might be running into 40-man roster issues for the other team and will have to take someone with a ML contract back.
