There's always a reason that the AI wants a trade.
It's likely the AI scouting director evaluates the players differently. If the 5-star guy is only 4 stars or less in their eyes, and they can get two very similarly talented prospects for him, it'd be a no-brainer.
Never trust overall ratings alone. Look at the 5-star guy more closely; how many pitches does he have? Do they show signs of development? Is his Stamina well above the mark required for starting, or is there a risk of him dipping into relief pitcher range? Check your own guys and keep their values in mind as well.
For example, an "SP" pitching prospect that has two main pitches and a changeup stuck at the minimum value, but with a massive potential, has high odds of never realizing that potential and being stuck as a reliever.
Generally speaking, the farther away the current ratings are from the potential, the more speculative and less reliable is your scout's estimation.
I'd need complete information (screenshots of the player profiles) to be certain, but from what you've told me I'd keep the two prospects.
