I just came off be turned down for the 23rd consecutive time on a manager-less trade. My success ratio in doing trades with Mike collapsed this season from above 50% to probably 5%...beats me why because I always try to take both teams situations into account.

Anyway: regarding this most frustrating "Neglected Team" situation, I too am darn frustrated to waste time sending deal proposals and never getting responses.

Here is what I propose:

Each league has at least one GM send a message to the other GM's asking them to simply respond with an organization bulletin that they are "alive and interested".

We can do this 2x. Now and maybe before the draft.

This is a pain in the rear but we can make a note of each GM that fails to respond to the posts and pretty much consider them disinterested and then stop bothering to make trade inquiries.

At least you would know what % of your league is into your league.

I'm open to better ideas...
