you may need to dig a bit. don't rely on "shop player" or just picking out 1 trade partner based on prospect, unless you are going to pay for it no matter the cost. if on the other hand you are looking for greatest rate of return, you have to seek highest demand. that can be a matrix of positional demands depending on complexities of the trade.
find the teams with the red dot for that position in the mlb (prospects when trading prospects - it's about what they get). at first just start plopping guys in by potential to gauge interest from each team (obviously age, position etc play a role in value in addition to potential) ...if a couple of those teams with red dots have more positive trade feedback for distinguishably better players in return (add their prospects of various ability to resolve demand), start with those teams, otherwise, check out all the matching "red dots" have to offer.
can always kick the can down the road by getting prospects.. lots of time to move them or use them etc.
find the highest demand, hope they have some prospects or an mlb player of value. even if you have to package stuff together. not every good player you draft will fit into your plans. this is the opportunity to get somethign for them too.
heck, maybe even a bench player you have a replacement for in AAA. cut payroll at minimum loss of ability, if any, and help a trade. 2 birds, 1 stone.
1:1 trades don't usually work out well for a human player.
