Trade AI understanding/accepting high salary players question.

[DanDiaz]

Does anyone have problems trading high salary players.

I am not talking about them not being able to afford them or the players just being high paid scrubs, solid players with high salaries.

Example: (modern game, no mods, FA period) I had a SP who was 31, been my 3rd or 4th stater for four years and making 7 million in the last year of deal. Record over 4 years : 58-30 with an era under 3.6. That is a solid 3-4 starter. I couldn't trade him even for a scrub, everyone said he was overpriced. I even tried including a good prospect with him in a salary dump for a Rookie ball scrub.

I needed to dump sal so I tried putting him on waivers, and a lot of teams claimed him.

So they will take his salary on waivers but not in a tread along with a solid prospect for one of their scrubs. Makes no sense. I have now done this a few times, it seems the AI is much more willing to take on sal through waivers then trades. Anyone else experiencing this??
