There are ways to game the system. You need to find the player the AI over-values. And that is rarely veterans. If you can offer him enough of those players, he might be willing to take that veteran off your hands just to make the deal happen.
But finding those over-valued players is the tricky part. If you enable Draft Pick Trading, it becomes a lot easier. But IMO makes the game way too easy.

The Chase Headley example showed that the AI was NOT behaving properly (I was able to deal him for multiple blue-chip prospects), but that was on average difficulty.
The problem now is, for example, I just shopped Anthony Rizzo, and did not receive a single one-for-one offer.
I guess I'm just asking for some examples of deals you were able to get done where you weren't just dealing every prospect you have for a decent player or dealing a superstar for maybe one decent prospect.
