Before someone else says it, the prospects ratings are often screwy, but still, that trade shouldn't have been possible.

edit: For the Altuve trade, I bet it was salary related. The AI will take almost nothing for high salary players.

I agree with this. First thing is I can easily not do one of these trades though, occasionally the salary dump is so blatant I wouldn't even want to. Second thing is I don't see the AI do these trades with other AI teams. With that in mind it doesn't bother me at all, YMMV
