Correction: Considering that the team in comprised of the lowest litter, no other team would risk getting rid of their players for some that are considered the worst players in the game.

If they are having decent seasons, other teams would want them. Even so, she doesn't need to trade them to remove them from the team. She can designate them for assignment, which means either sending them to the minors or cutting them outright. This is actually addressed by the film's intended ending in which she actually supported the team. In the deleted scene she says if she really wanted to stop the team's win streak she could have sent players to the minors.
