To follow up, I tried going the other way with a trade.

As I've said before, I mix in all time greats with today's players, so my center fielder is RL HOFer Max "Scoops" Carey. Long story short, his average WAR (if you're into that sort of thing) over 5.5 seasons is 8 and 40 total for his career.

Because I have an owner who expects me win while giving me no money to do so (if I have $10 million for free agents in an off season I consider myself fortunate) there is no possible way I can sign Carey to an extension and his contract is up at the end of this year. I tried a few teams and two of the three were willing to unload their minor league systems to acquire him. I won't make the trades, we're in contention this year despite my owner.
