It's saying this because the other team's budget is in the red. The player you are trying to trade away has a higher priced contract than the player you are trading for, meaning the other team's budget would go further in the red by taking them on.

To trade, the players must have the same contract value (other team's budget remains the same after trade), or the player's contract you are trading away needs to be lower than the player's contract you're trading for (other teams budget will rise after trade)

Basically on the trade screen you check to see if the Reds would still have a positive budget after the trade would be completed. You should see both your budget after the trade and the Reds.

It only shows my budget not the other teams.

I'm trying to give them 3 prospects so their contracts are really low (around 70k each) it makes no since because Sean Marshall has the exact same contract as Leake (2.4mil) and it when I try to trade for Marshall it works.

Are you using custom rosters with custom player contracts? If so, the value of a player's contract shown in the trade screen could be different than what's listed in his player card. Check Marshall's player card to see if his contract value is the same as what's shown on the trade screen and get back to me. Do this for Leake's as well.

That could be it...because Leake's contract is for around 3 million more IRL.
