not really new to the game but has anyone ever come up with a setting where you get offered prospects for vets at the trade deadline?

It would be nice if you were not really in the race if contenders would offer you spects for your vets ... this is one aspect of real-life I have never been able to duplicate in the game no matter what setting I try

I see the AI doing that in my game, but I have the same issue as you. I'm the sucktastic 2013 Astros, and all I get offered by the AI is some middling-at-best veteran for one of my better prospects (default trade settings).

I've tried it every way heavily favor vets, heavily favor spects ... still don't get spects for vets offers

Yeah, if you're talking trades solicited by the AI, then I'm inclined to agree it's unlikely you'll see this, but I wouldn't rule it out. With settings at Heavily Favor Veterans and in the time interval you're describing, I think you may see it if you Shop one of your vets, though. Probably won't be a top 100, but it may provoke a couple of suggestions.
