What are some of the weirdest trades you have seen to AI controlled teams make? The Yankees just completed a blockbuster by trading Eduardo Nunez for Yoenis Cespedes

The AI can get into a 'dump high-ish money contracts' mode after the first couple months, and do some odd trades like that. It happens.

I saw Mariano Rivera traded five times in his last two seasons.

Thinking about Cespedes... the AI offered me a deal for Cespedes recently (first year of playing a season), a fair offer, but I really didn't need him so I sat on the deal for a couple days, mulling it over.
After 2 days, Cespedes got hurt and was out for the year.

Historical league, but in his rookie season, the Yankees traded Lou Gehrig to the St Louis Browns for Marty McManus. The Browns still sucked anyway, but I wept sweet tears of joy. The Yankees did still win the World Series in 1927 with McManus, and Gehrig won 3 MVPs while playing on a horrible St Louis team. The Browns never had a .500 record from 1923-1939 (Gehrig's career), and had 13 100+ loss seasons, including 6 seasons in a row with a sub-.200 winning percentage.
