While I use "shop around" on very hard there are some definite caveats; if you shop a player multiple times they will get angry at you. Not sure of the effect of this but don't want to push things.

A way to get around this is to pick on a backup or (better yet) AAA player, whose performance isn't that vital to your team, and shop him around constantly to see which teams have players available for a feasible trade. Then, you might make a realistic, even one-sided, package for a good player. I find that on the default quickstart, players from Washington, St Louis and the Yankees are easier to pry for whatever reason.

I think it's a way to get more out of GM-only mode but I wouldn't do it if I were playing out the games.
