Trading seems okay (it's set on average frequency).
But I noticed some terrible AI decisions (v16), including teams flat out dropping rookie of the years and other really good players with about two years ML stats that both played well and also have incredible potential, for example, Yogi Berra, Carl Furillo, and some others. (And again, money is not an issue for teams.)
I don't know if this is due to the AI ratings setting. But I've not seen this before in many similar leagues I've done before (all pre-v16). Maybe it's a v16 thing, but I've turned off managers and owner's expectations. The only thing I can think of is to restart at 1936 and use a more 'traditional' ratings setting and see what happens

In a vacuum, some of those things sound bad. If you get the time, though, can you post the situation around Berra, for instance?
He's played well, but is there a capable replacement on the roster? I mean, if they cut him without having anyone to replace his production -- or didn't spend that money elsewhere -- I can totally understand your frustration.
You've said money and production weren't the issue, and at that point, I would look at players around him, and I would also look at attitude and morale. Obviously, we would never expect Yogi to be a total jerk, but he could be in your universe...
I would just like more information before I say "that's bad" if you don't mind? Thanks.
