no trade offers?

I'm running an expansion team, trades are on hard, favor prospects. I put my entire org on the trade block to try to draw offers. 1/2 way thru the first season, and not a single offer. Does that make sense? Do i have a setting screwed up?

If you are an expansion team, it seems likely that you don't have many good prospects. So I don't think it would be all that strange.

Agreed. If you are a true expansion team, no matter what the "potential" is of the young players you picked up in FA, you really don't have anything to deal with yet. It's gonna take a few years to build up your system

Change your trade settings lower from average to something lower. That'll help a lot.
