Two thoughts.

1. If you want to make a deal, presumably it's good for you. There's no reason to think the AI wouldn't see it that way also and say No.

2. If it's brutally one-sided and still No, then something is amiss. I'm trying to move a very attractive player, rated as the #6 3B in the game. He's 29, coming off a 5.0 WAR season with 118 OPS+ and +12 Zone Rating, and on track for a carbon copy after two months. He's costs 3.6 mil with two more arb years left. I have a 3b prospect killing it at 3A, and am very weak at a couple spots, so it makes sense for me to move him.

I shopped him and got one offer, for an A-ball guy who was a second round draft pick last year. Anytime I try and trade for an ok major leaguer (guys rated 13th-15th at their position) I get one of those messages that basically says "I'd rather suffocate myself with a catcher's mitt than make this deal."

Trade difficulty is Average. Frustrating.
