I'm not suggesting a simple parameter like "no trading these stars/big deal in first year, two years, etc." An option for that CBA rule would be a start. But in general, I just wish the AI was better at identifying these situations where newly-acquired guys intended to be franchise cornerstones are never dumped a few months in.
At the end of the day, it's all about making the game more realistic and it's not controversial to say trade AI could be better.

Would you also have advocated a year ago for the AI to never release players like Pujols and Upton with a bunch of dead money left because until recently teams were making bad decisions not to release them?
If Texas is trading Seager for Joey Baggodonuts in AA who will never amount to anything, that might be an issue (though in this case I'm not actually convinced his contract is a positive asset even on the day he signed it). But so far the only 'evidence' we've seen is that Texas seems willing to trade him for a much better player on a much better contract. The fact that RL GMs may or may not be willing to make what is obviously a good trade shouldn't impede the AI from doing so.
