Can't Make a Trade Offer

[Battman]

I attempted to make a trade offer for Robin Yount (Western Carolina League - Orangeburg Cardinals), year 1973. I keep getting a message that the team cannot afford the contract of the player offered. His contract in the game shows a minor league contract, signed 11/16/1972. It seems that his team is not affiliated with a major league organization. So, I'm curious as to his status? He was drafted in 1973 in real life and played in the New York - Pennsylvania (Milwaukee affiliate) league that year. Went to the Majors in 1974. This is NOT an As Played setup,

Yeah, that's the game's way of telling you that he cannot be traded for out of his current league as it is set up.

To override this in commish mode, I think you go to the league settings page for that minor league and select allow players to be purchased by major leagues (in RULES).
