Shop A Player Issues

MikeG719 · 03-25-2015, 11:40 AM

I shopped a 36 yr old Michael Cuddyer who was batting .146 26 games into the season.

I got offered:

Steven Pearce
Hanley Ramirez
Nelson Cruz
Adrian Gonzalez

All who were having much better seasons than him up to that point and all of the teams were in win now mode.

I have my player AI evaluations at 0/55/30/15.

Any ideas?

With the exception of Pearce, they're trying to dump long, expensive contracts on you.

this. I did the same thing with cuddyer almost immediately. my only offer was for gonzo & I was interested until I looked @ his contract. $21M/year for the next 3-4 years IIRC.

no thanks.

Keep in mind the 2015 current roster game starts like a light bulb going on. You're going to see weird things 26 games into a season because the AI is reacting like it was just hired. Shopping players is, as was said, a place for AI teams to dump contracts. My suggestion is turn off trades until May 15 or 30 then see what happens. Also consider that player development will cause the AI to change course from a real life off season that didn't actually happen for it.

With a win now mindset they would be doing that though? I was thinking it was because of my evaluation settings.
