I believe that is because the AI values that roster spot and won't take back a player unless it frees a slot with a player that it values lower than yours. It also won't offer multi-player trades in this mode.
Your best approach for making this type of deal, i.e. veteran player performing well for multiple assets, is to use the trade screen to canvas teams one-by-one. Look for a team that has the budget room to take on Marcum and a weakness in their rotation. You will have to choose the players that you want from their organization, but I think you will find a team or two that will be willing to trade assets that you covet.

'Shop player' can give you a decent idea of which teams value your player highest, simply by looking at the relative star ratings of those they'd do a one-for-one trade with (excluding MRs/CLs). So a team offering three or four 3/4 star players clearly rates your 'shopped' player higher than a team offering 1/2 star players. Click 'trade' for one of them, then edit the trade looking for players you like.
