When making a trade, assets within a sport should be within 60% (rounded up) yearly salary value (excluding cash) for any assets that are moved with a $4,000,000 or greater yearly salary. Salary values are determined for active roster players by their yearly cap hit. In valuing rookie picks/practice squad players, the following guidelines are used.
•1st rounder: $8,000,000 •2nd rounder: $6,000,000 •3rd rounder: $4,000,000 •4th rounder or later: $2,000,000
FOR EXAMPLE: If I trade Todd Gurley ($18,000,000), I must receive in return at least $11,000,000 in football assets, regardless of the other assets involved in the trade. This applies for all sports, so the potential trade of Todd Gurley for Giannis Antetokounmpo straight up can still never happen, but in theory they can be moved in the same trade, if the NBA salary requirements are ALSO met.
This is not a foolproof setup, and there is still a fine line of making transactions. Use your judgment about shifting the balance of the league. Some players on very favorable contracts can still technically be moved without asset return, but it seems to me logically that those are contracts that may be worth more. I'm open to suggestions on this front, but I think going forward this is an important regulation.
AMENDMENT TO REGULATION PROPOSAL:
Trade regulation ONLY involving trades across multiple sports. Single-sport trades are not influenced by additional regulation (only standard salary cap constraints) MLB Prospects valued at $4,000,000 in any cross-sport trade.

Basically, in my mind, the cross-sport aspect is available to provide small boosts to rosters if you are trying to do that, not allow complete overhauls in one sport by abusing unrelated assets. I use this example like this frequently, but something like Jake Odorizzi for Robert Woods is a simple low-end transaction. Maybe Robert Woods wins you a title, but someone else could have found him off the waiver wire, and he's not going to be viewed the primary reason you won from an outside viewer. However, if you just trade Chris Sale for Todd Gurley, that's a MASSIVE upgrade without sacrificing a single football asset, and other owners are defenseless to react to that, because they're not willing to trade their ace to get a running back to compete. Especially considering we plan to have payouts in individual sports which are on par with the overall winner, there is a need to maintain fair and balanced competitiveness in all sports.
