I had a career 4th outfielder on my team. He came up huge in the World Series for me and became kind of a local hero at least in my mind. He ended up costing too much for a 4th outfielder after a few years of arbitration so I let him go. Fast forward about 5 years and I looked him up. He was stuck in AAA for a non contender. I tried to bring him back for a stretch run and the only thing the AI would trade him for was my top pitching prospect. I tried loading up several of my top prospects but they had none of it. They specifically wanted one guy. The trade would have been embarrassingly one sided if I did that. I let it go. A year later tried the same thing. Guy still on same team stuck in AAA. Mind you they are paying him a decent salary to play there too. They still would only trade him for my top prospect. After that year he retired. I'd never seen anything like that before in my OOTP years.
