Yes. Trades don't make sense -sometimes-.
In my first RTTS year in MLB 21, though, in -3- months, the following prospects were traded: Jeter Downs, Bobby Dalbec, Jasson Dominguez, and those are just the ones I recognize. Then there's the newly-signed free agents being traded (Kyle Schwarber and others), and the Yankees trading away both of their left fielders in a 2 week period which leads them to trading -for- Schwarber, and then young players getting traded away cheaply (Lourdes Gurriel Jr)
The trading AI is -bad-.
