Not really that unrealistic (other than the Red Sox part, which since we don't have rivalries yet, we can't control). Teams do this all the time, if they can.
The real life Padres would happily trade Wil Myers for a bucket of balls right now and throw 30-40 mil into the deal too if you asked nicely.

I understand WHY they MIGHT make the trade, but this is the same issue that existed last year: the AI over values contracts waayyy too much. And honestly, its not really even about rivalries. I wouldnt even see the Yankees trade a guy of the caliber of Stanton in division at all.
Another example: I just did the same thing for Bryce Harper. The Phillies would give him to me for Rafael Devers. Straight up. Now, Devers is a great player, but its been made clear that Harper is the cornerstone of the Phillies franchise.
