I sense this trend in my league too. I think it's part of regular trade market things.
My feel: He's a player type that is either or both less valuable in the playoffs or peaks early (either very low contact/avoid Ks or very high contact/very low HR); Teams don't really do like-for-like trades much at all (which is mostly realistic); established players vs. prospect balance // value in trades vs. value in free agency in the league is off.
With lots of payroll room they could be waiting for free agency; especially if future free agents are very high reward. Also modern expanded playoffs maybe.
