House rules on trades and free agent signings are a must if you want to keep the solo game challenging. No matter how far up you move the slider, you can always find the AI glitching to overrate a terrible minor league player from time to time. Having the setting from hard to hardest is good in general, but trades have to be evaluated in their own right.
My house rules:
Only pursue major leaguers who are on the trading block, unless I'm willing to offer a really good prospect (this is really important to avoid the temptation of trading too frequently)
Never use the "make this work now" button because that's how you find the players the AI is terribly overrating
What I offer has to match the needs of the other team
With free agents, I think it is important to make an effort to keep signigns limited to a given number because you can always find several average players willing to sign for less than 3mn. Even playing as the Marlins, you can overhaul the entire roster in only one free agency window while keeping within the budget if you really wanted to.
