Suggestion
Miscellaneous trade screen additions. This includes the ability to add a "Player to be Named Later" into a trade. (AI could perhaps offer a list of 5 players they would accept in return at the end of the season.) Also, a Submit button, a Counter Offer button, a Save button, and a Clear button.

Reason
The PTBNL would give an extra option to add to a trade and since it's a part of the real game, it should be in OOTP. The Submit button would allow you the option (depending on game settings) to see an opposing team's comments prior to actually submitting a proposal. The Counter Offer button would solicit a counter-proposal from the other GM. The Save button would allow you to keep the a constructed trade in place while switching from team to team and to let you exit the trade screen without having to rebuild your trade once you return. Conversely, the Clear button would clear the proposal.

Priority
Practically speaking, the PTBNL is LOW, since it probably wouldn't dramatically alter the outcome of most trades and would rarely be used. (However, as mentioned, it is part of baseball and making OOTP accurately reflect the rules and business of beseball should be of the utmost importance.) The buttons are more a matter of convenience than anything, so I'd rate them LOW as well. (Actually, I don't recall if the Counter Offer function is still in OOTP '07. If it isn't, bringing it back is a HIGH priority.)
