I am playing the 2023 season of the St. Louis Cardinals and am trying to complete a deal with the Angels sending starting pitcher Michael Wacha for a middling minor-league outfielder.
The Angels GM seems interested and responded with an email saying "However, if you add any of the following players, we'd have a deal:"
So I added one of the players.
Got another email saying, "However, if you add any of the following players, we'd have a deal."
If that's one of the additional players he wants, I give it to him, why doesn't it close the deal.
This is something I have seen before while playing OOTP over the years. There have been times I have gotten five players deep in a deal and finally just forced the trade.
