Suggestion

Have an option to allow only player-for-cash trades with other leagues and/or inside leagues.

Reason

This mimics real life transfers of players from indy or foreign leagues to MLB-affiliated teams (or vice versa). There are almost never player-for-player trades between Japan and MLB, or the Northern League and MLB, but players are essentially sold from one league to the other all the time.

Also, in leagues using rules similar to European soccer trades are rare. Even inside leagues selling players are far more common than trades.

Priority

Medium-high. This is one of the key stumbling blocks to getting indy/foreign leagues to interact with affiliated leagues in a realistic fashion.
