Chances are if you had control of the Cubs (or ANY team for that matter) in OOTP 18 and tried to acquire a pitcher of Quintana's caliber, the AI would not only ask for 2-3 quality prospects, but also the best player on your team. It would be fine as you say if the Trade AI merely wanted players you don't want to let go. But in 99% of the trades, the AI wants the Sun , the Stars, the Moon, and everything in between.
I happened to trade for quintana pre-season as the brewers on the challenge mode settings. I sent

Brett Phillips (4*, #75 prospect)
Jake Gatewood (3.5* decent prospect)
Junior Guerra (useless ML SP)
Mario Feliciano (1*, pretty useless)
