I had an of who was POY in AAA, coming up on his free agent year, and no room for him (my starting of - MVP, AS, and .300, 20 hr...my subs 2 young guys with 80 potential). So I decided to trade him (settings average-neutral). I wanted a young guy, 20-22, but all I got offered were guys on 40 man rosters, which I don't want. I tried it on team settings of rebuild, neutral, and build a dynasty, no change. Then I offered him to the team with the worst of, and asked for a low-level rp. The pitchers potential was 25, my guy is 67. No deal. I was frustrated so went commissioner and forced the deal. They not only immediately put him on the 40, they put him on the active roster, started him in rf, and batted him 5th!

So, my question is, why did the ai reject the trade, when they obviously could use him more than a class a reliever?

Also, you can set the ai trading preference to "heavily favor prospects". Is there any way to set the player trading preference? I frequently try to trade quality guys from my 40 for ml'ers today open roster space, but rarely get offered anything but guys already on ml rosters. Is there a way for me to tell teams I prefer prospects?
