Commissioner Approval of Trades

I was wondering if I could get a groundswell of support on a topic: commissioner approval of trades. I find when I play OOTP 13 and allow trades, that sometimes a deal is made that I deem unrealistic or just plain dumb. Recent example, I was playing 2012 season and the first-place Detroit Tigers traded Prince Fielder for a prospects. WTF?!?

Now, I usually play in commissioner mode so I can undo those trades, but they still turn up in the transactions log. Would anyone else support the idea of - when playing in commissioner mode - that the commissioner has to approve all trades? That way it would be an option that is realistic (since real commissioner's office has final approval over trades, particular complex financial ones) and it could also prevent deals that don't seem plausible.

Funny - I just posted this about comissioner trades and I resumed the 2012 season I am currently playing and Mark Trumbo just got traded for Manny Ramirez. Gimme a break!
