Storyline: News Comes Out After a Trade
I'd like to see some "sour grapes" stories after you trade a star player. Like Kinsler last year saying he hopes the Rangers never win a game again, or this recent story about Josh Donaldson and his GM ( Scott Miller's Starting 9: With Nelson Cruz, Mariners Can Win Now?and Later | Bleacher Report #4 ). The storyline would be triggered a few days after you make the trade. Perhaps a player's greed or lack of leadership ability or wanting to play for a winner and you trade him to a salad team would increase the likelihood of it happening.

People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them."
