Figure I'll ask another...
I appreciate all of the replies.
I have a logjam of serviceable players on the train between AAA and the bigs. I shop some of them for trade hoping to get a prospect for some of them who are just surplus. The AI (I have trading set to the most difficult setting) will offer an array of 30+ players, some of whom are good, but who may also have a terrible contract. Not unexpected. When I attempt to get only a prospect back, it is always rejected, the "you've got to be kidding" message. Even when I pick the lowliest, no talent, no potential scrub stuck in their lowest minors it is still rejected. I can ask for a 35th round draft pick...rejected.
Am I doing something wrong? Expecting something unrealistic? I'm not asking for the other teams best young players by any stretch.
