There has undoubtedly been bad trades in real life, but I can't fathom a scenario where a team would trade a young player in their first year of arbitration after they just hit 43 HR for a 30 year old backup shortstop when they did not have an adequate replacement for the 43 HR player. That's exactly what happened to Vaughn in my current save.
You can't use "bad trades happen in real life" to excuse both the sheer volume of trades happening in the game or the nonsensical nature of most of them. If you haven't yet, Sim 3 years into a save and check it out for yourself. The problem isn't obvious until you are a few years in.
