OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - It should be easier to trade for expiring contracts

In my league, Toronto has Josh Donaldson, Marco Estrada, Tyler Clippard, Aaron Loup, and JA Happ on the block, despite co-leading the AL East at the All-star break. They have lots of budget space available, so I don't think that's the issue. Further confusion: they're in "Win Now" mode, so I dunno what's going on there.

In addition to that particular oddity, I'm seeing similar results as a few other posters; teams ready and willing to give up 1-year rentals almost too easily.

I very much empathize with the devs. It has to be very, very hard to balance all of this. You want to see cellar-dwelling teams willing to move players for budget or prospects, but you obviously don't want to be able to take advantage and trade some lead to receive gold in return.
