A 31 Year old 47 overall reliever has little to no trade value. Relivers overalls are pretty inflated so most good teams will have entire pens of relievers that are 50+.
You have a AAAA player with no options, why would any team give up anything of value for it.
At best you're getting a lottery ticket prospect with mid 30s potential that might get a favourable TCR boost or be mis-scouted, since you have it toggled a couple ticks above center for difficulty, the AI takes that minimal trade value and then makes it negative

Well, yes, that would be my expectation. I said in the quoted section you mentioned that I didn't expect any prospects of real value to be offered in return.
What I noted further down was that the kind of lottery, mid-30s potential prospect you mention wasn't even attainable when offering several players with greater value:
"I asked it for a 21-year-old 20 OVR/POT and offered both an 18-year-old 58 POT 1B prospect and four ~45 OVR prospects (i.e., no MLB experience and all of whom were at or under age 25) and the AI still insisted on wanting upper-tier talent for their scrub."
I would have been satisfied with the return you described. If my settings are in the wrong place to net the return you alluded to, then I would want to know where I should put them to be offered such a lottery prospect. That I couldn't even get a 20/20 guy for the pitcher — let alone the other prospects mentioned above — feels off, no matter what the difficulty and favoritism leaning are set to be.
