v1.19 Closers - figured out something!

In a 1966 historical league where the Closer usage is not modern, I notice that teams that are interested in trading (any trade status other than 'not actively looking') always list their first trade priority as closer.

I think this situation exists because on the roster spot for closer, there is no player slotted in there. Thus, when trying to fill out a position, closer becomes the priority, even though these teams all have buckets of high-rated low-endurance closers on their team.

Just thought I'd throw that out there for you as analysis

I wonder if that is why relievers are highly valued in historical sims?
