I wonder just how many variables go into trades. Obviously money and contract issues, but it could also be variables like team philosophy ( Win Now or Rebuilding, etc.), owner patience, team chemistry, or even fan loyalty. I don’t know. I might just be overthinking what is really a simple formula.
I am disappointed with the information Matt gave about the AI rejecting most trades for highly valued prospects. As I play OOTP, acquiring prospects and building from my farm system has been my favorite way to play. Honestly, unless there is a workaround, that greatly diminishes my interest in the game. I need to be able to occasionally trade a perennial All-Star veteran for a Top-10 prospect without constantly getting rejected.

I'm happy to hear Matt's answer. AI teams should value some prospects to the point they simply will not trade them, this is reality. Nothing they do is ever going to be perfect or make everyone happy, but
IMHO, what they have done with the trading module has greatly improved the game. We used to have endless threads every year about "OOTP trading sucks. How come I can trade a bucket of balls for a superstar?". Don't see many of those threads now and that is a good thing.
