turns out the Cardinals had, the day before, traded Jordan Walker for ADALBERTO MONDESI. Mondesi played 7 games all year for Boston due to injuries before being flipped for the #2 prospect in the game and Chris Stratton (a mediocre reliever who only costs 2.8m). That's outlandishly bad, never seen that before.

There's some other bad ones, which are the usual bad AI trades (like Josh Jung for two 45 POT prospects) but those aren't necessarily immersion breaking. People make bad trades all the time. But there is not a universe where Mondesi fetches the #2 prospect in the game. That is far worse on paper than the Archer trade was at the timem (obviously Archer trade didn't age well).
Didn’t you hear, the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth for a bag of candy 104 years ago. These things happen
