This is something I wanted to bring up for awhile. It's the trade deadline. I look at the new and improved trading block (which is great btw great job OOTP team on improving that) and a lot of the bad teams in the league have their expiring contracts on the trading block, so I am interested in the rental to make my team better for the postseason. I go into negotiations and they wont settle for anything less than my top MLB players or my top prospects. I get that they are elite talents but we have seen in the past few years of baseball (except for a desperate Cubs team in 2016 with Chapman) that expiring contracts don't return top talent. It should be like this in OOTP. Maybe it's a balance issue to make the game harder, but I just dont think it's realistic and it does annoy me sometimes to see teams that are well below .500 dont sell off their expiring contracts.
