Because why
- Nobody else (other team) wants you...
- Nobody else (other team) wants to pay what your GM is asking for you
- You are a "position of need" / "top prospect" that your GM doesn't want to offload - you are to be the centerpiece of their inevitable rebuild...
- It's not trade deadline so nobody's looking to make a deal
pick one... game has a tendency to not tell you...

I got traded when I did not want to so we even each other out. All I did was state that I did not want to move from the outfield to first base and because I chose that option they traded me.

I once saw a video of a guys old RTTS where he was asked to change position, and he intentionally took all the super aggressive responses. They wanted him to move from shortstop to I think OF, but he refused.
The mangers response was awesome. Manager said "fine, welcome to the bench, SHORTSTOP." I don't remember how long he was benched, because I never watched the next installment.
Curious as to how yours played out, and if your new manager had anything to say when you arrived.

Nope, just one or two games after that cut scene happened I got a pop up that told me that I had been traded to Baltimore.

How did this desire to be traded come about?
Typically, when I "roll up" a character, I attempt to match up his eventual positions with a "need" on the team (typically BOS or STL) that I'm picking during the draft.
Have a 100% success rate (ie, stay on the team) this way.Once on 22, I "rolled" a closer, for BOS. During my AAA time on the team (so late July of '22) he got a call into the office and "we're sticking with Rich Hill as our closer - even though he wasn't closing - so we traded you". Shipped me to WAS. Immediately went into "trade me again" mode.
Was stuck on WAS for all of '23 season, and after re-signing with them (rookie deal), they traded me (most likely during winter meetings) to TEX.Mind you, while I was a save machine for WAS, the rest of the team wasn't - so we missed playoffs etc. Probably part of why WAS offloaded me, I "earned" them more "talent" in the trade than I would have provided them by saving another 46-ish games with the chumps they had in their employ...
Which is funny, because 47 saves later, TEX was a WS team...
And to close out my "reasons" I gave earlier, the couple of times I've rolled up a character with the intent of going to "whichever team wants me", the odds of being traded in that situation are extremely slim, because you were drafted by said team to "fill a serious need", and therefore they aren't looking to offload you - except maybe in a "deadline deal" or offseason trade in which you net a lot more talented prospects than you'd provide the team in raw stats...
