Trades That Baffle You

What trades do teams make in you league that you just dont understand?
I saw this one and i dont get it. PAul Robinson is a great leadoff guy. The Hitmen were already extrememly deep in SP. The SS prospect looks decent. I guess they moved Robinson to make way for Brett Butler to play CF and Sanchez to move to LF which he is a better fielder at. But turning over CF to a rookie and LF to a ok player after losing your MVP RF baffles me a bit. They also lost Juan Bisuet for the season who is a typical 19 game winner low 3 to upper 2 ERA

Could be money? Could be financial flexibility down the road? Could be their scouts don't see the players the same way you do? Could be their GM is a dumbass?

All of those things are possibilities. And of course: could also be that trades logic is just naturally "fuzzy" and devilishly difficult to replicate in a computer simulation.

A commish option to veto trades has been made as a suggestion....a good idea I think...might be hard to implement though....would the AI just try to do the deal again the next day?....as mentioned the yrade AI must be very hard to code....this game does the best I have seen
