Isn't dealing with the bad contracts and the roster flaws of "the previous GM" what makes the game challenging?
Detroit fired their GM for some of the reasons you mention. They hired you to clean up the mess and turn things around...... yeah, dealing with Baez' contract won't be easy, are you the right man for the job?
Lowering the trade settings would be an option, as would redrafting the entire league if you want to take the easy way out..... but if the Tigers are your team and you just took things over, cleaning up the mess is why they hired you. Enjoy the challenge.
As someone who plays with the Cubs, I've always had to deal with the Jason Heyward contract just like someone else mentioned. There were times I'd eat a chunk of the contract just to be able to trade him. Other times I just rode it out, platooning him and a right handed bat, while trying to build some corner OF depth in the minors anticipating the day that his contract finally expired.
