I offered about 4 million to an japenese team for a big hitter, which on the brief summaryo n the trading page they said was ok, then they said no way. So do i offer players as well, beuase i see thats a big part of trading in baseball, and what sort of players do i offer?

baseball is much different than football in this sense. in football you "trade" players by using cash. its called a sale, but it is a trade in a sense. in baseball its player/s for player/s, with cash sometimes used, and really just to balance the deal because of the difference in contracts, difference in player potential, etc.
you rarely find a 'top of the range' player dealt for someone off the scrap heap. often times you see teams that are close to making the playoffs trading good young prospects for a star who will help them win that season. often times its a swap of player/s at a position you have lots of depth at for player/s at a position you dont. you also see lots of trades that involve teams willing to take a slary "dump" in exchange for young potential. "dump" = trading a player with a bad contract and a prospect for a guy with a cheap contract, just to save money.
currently, in OOTP 2006 its just trial and error until you find a deal that works for you and the AI. i usually check out the team im attempting a trade with to see what positions i think they need help at and then see if i have someone who can help them.
