I'm not entirely sure if this an actual "bug," or just a random goofy thing, or whatever, but it just seemed really odd to me that the team that had just tried to trade away a player immediately made an offer to get him back after completing a trade.

The AI has no memory of an action ie it didn't trade McCann but a collection of values for what it saw as a better collection of values. When you "shopped" McCann the AI, as "shop player" is designed,
offered you something it wanted to get rid of. Again it only sees the value, whether it be money, roster space etc.
Can you confirm you shopped McCann before the NY AI made a roster move? If so it makes more sense because they are down a catcher and McCann must be a better set of "values" than the piece offered now. If not it is still a value thing but less obvious.
It'd be nice to know what you traded and what NY offered on the trade back. I'd bet that if you tried to trade the other two for each other it wouldn't fly. It's like playing "X degrees of separation".
