There are settings you can change that allow the CPU to be in charge of both personnel aspects (trading, scouting, free agents, contracts, etc), as well as more ownership type aspects (marketing, banking, etc). I'm fairly certain that these can be changed both from the mode-specific settings menu when you first load up the game, as well as right when you start your franchise. You can also change these at any time.
There is one thing in specific I would keep an eye out for; if you're like me and don't like to have to control all the trading and contracts, I would still recommend keeping the Trading setting to manual instead of CPU. The reason for this is because sometimes the CPU will make some questionable trades, though I haven't played it much this year with the improved trade logic, this was often the case in previous years.
