I'd like to move him and there are definitely teams that are interested as he is still productive (coming off of a 25/90/.270 season). But as i shop him around and look at other teams that might have a need at 1B nobody has the money. But really they do. There are tons of teams with a lot of budget room, but they all of that space taken up by "offered contracts". Why should this prohibit a trade? What if they'd actually prefer my player over someone they've offered a contract to? In real life, a team would make the trade with me and just break off contract talks with the other player.

This. I have the same issue. I can only make trades at the beginning or end of the offseason.
