The whole trading engine is a little lackluster at times. I have had the AI suggest trades where it asks for my two top prospects in return for some washed up 36 year old relief pitcher who is on his way to the waiver wire. But it also works the opposite way sometimes. One time I shopped Bronson Arroyo just to see what he would bring, and I was offered several All-Star level players, including Strassburg and Kershaw. I avoided the temptation to "upgrade" and attempted to keep things more true to reality. I traded him for a much more common sense #5 starter - albeit a much younger pitcher.

Thank goodness for Commissioner Mode and the "Force Trade" button! Sometimes what the AI considers "fair" or "unfair" is in disagreement with what I think "fair" and "unfair" are. Hopefully those issues have been fixed in this version.
