With the trade difficulty set to anything but the highest level I can get Altuve or Bauer. I can get Myers at any level

To enlarge even further, it completely depends on a great deal of factors.
-The actual ratings in-game, even if you think specific players are 'overrated' or 'underrated'.
-Whether you have scouting on on not (and it's on by default), If it's on, it can distort the ratings beyond what they truly are, devaluing some guys and overvaluing others, which will happen randomly each game.
-The level of trade difficulty you've set.
-The amount of value you have the AI set placing on stats as opposed to ratings.
-The contracts of the players involved and the financial state of the teams involved, which also varies as soon as you've simmed even a day.
This matters a great deal, as it's very likely the AI sees Bauer for example, as a negative value player who is being paid more than he will ever be worth and so is a net negative value to them.
There are likely a lot of real MLB teams that see him this way too, otherwise someone would have outbid the Dodgers for him, if they thought he was actually worth what he is getting paid.
