Wait, how much is your player asking in the extension? $43 million per year?

If that's the case and the Diamondbacks have only $27M for extensions, then obviously they can't afford this trade. And CBeisbol is right that the AI almost certainly isn't smart enough to be planning to turn around and trade away the player.

Let's be honest. Many GMs and teams throughout MLB history have made trades that didn't seem to make sense at the time and still don't make sense after the fact. The AI in OOTP is not perfect, and often it makes poor decisions too. But if the finances of this deal are that skewed and nonsensical for the AI's team, then I wouldn't proceed with the trade. Something doesn't seem right if the numbers are what you describe.
