For example, Arizona is in first place, they are in "win now" mode, yet starting first basebman, Paul Goldschmidt, is available. Goldschmidt has a slash line of .294/.396/.529 and is not a FA till after 2019

Also available from Arizona is starting pitcher, Patrick Corbin. Corbin is scheduled to be a FA after the season. Corbin is 8-2 with a 3.21 ERA and an ERA+ of 134.

Seem right that these two examples would be available?

Yeah its a problem even when you shop a player they offer a person that shouldn't be traded like their star RP
