There is no way that the AI would give up Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo in return for Luis Castillo, or give up James Wood and Robert Hassell III for Juan Soto.
All I am saying is that if you offer a 30-year-old 5-Star superstar veteran, you ought to be able to trade him for a 4-Star potential prospect from some team, even if you have to add a money to the deal.

I understand this sentiment, but users have to understand that AI is not (and never will be) a human mind that makes human decisions. That this game is a reflection of the real MLB world, but not a copy. So making IRL comparisons are never going to be exact and replicable. It’s easier to make an AI computer GM based on hard rules in code than making AI function with occasionally faulty human emotions and reasoning when it comes to trades.
