Does Your Team's Trading Block Work?

torpidbeaver · 05-13-2019, 03:05 PM

I've noticed that I don't seem to ever get offers on players who're on the trading block. Of course it could be the type of players I put on there, but this previous in-game year I put the eventual Cy Young Award-winning pitcher on the trading block and never got a single offer.

Guy wasn't a flash in the pan, either, as he's been tops in strikeouts and innings for multiple years. Just turned 31, has two years left in his contract making 14m.

Anyway, I'd chalk it up to one of those weird things, but I've noticed that I seldom (and possibly never) receive offers for those guys I usually throw up there: moderately-priced veterans who are still very valuable pieces. I'd expect one or two of the Win Now teams to at least throw up one of the CPU's typical ridiculously balanced trade offers, but they really only seem to target 26-year-old league minimum players who are crazy-overperforming their contracts.

My trade settings are neutral and hard, fwiw. I also have a few Needs listed in my trade tab, so I don't think that's it either.

Is anyone else seeing trade offers on the types of players who are often found on the trading block?

I find that as soon as I set my team needs so teams know what I'm looking for in return I get so many offers I'm tempted to take the player off the block because the emails are driving me bonkers

. I wish I could offer more assistance, but I do agree this v20 I don't get AS MANY offers as I did in previous years.

Might also have something to do with it being a carry-over save. I guess I'll try seeing what happens in a test fresh start game.

If it helps, mine is also a carry-over save from OOTP19.
