Wil Myers is good, and the trade is not lopsided, but still pretty bad. Turner should be a key cog in an amazingly versatile and explosive Nationals batting order, while Rizzo helped the Cubs break the curse.
I don't think that can be put on here based on the fact of the reasoning. It was long thought that 2002 was going to be the Expos last season in baseball. They were, very surprisingly, in playoff contention. Colon was a great starter at that juncture in his career. Montreal makes that deal not based on the talent they were giving up but the fact that getting to the playoffs in their projected last season was worth it.
John Durann 1. Mike Piazza Last pick in MLB draft(62nd round) Got drafted because his dad was close to the dodgers and forced them to pick him. Now in the Hall of Fame
dixmontal in the long run it was a bad trade. At the time bagwell was far down the depth chart behind Scott cooper who was ranked higher at the time. Also, Andersen helped get them to the playoffs which is what he was acquired to do. Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes a premium price is required in order to win now.
The trade for Cabby was not 6 no name players...Tigers gave up Andrew Miller who is now one of the best relief pitchers in the game. Florida just didn't wait on him
Adam Hupp I'm pretty sure the narrator said 6 players who never made an impact on the Marlins. Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin were top prospects, but never panned out like they were supposed to in the Marlins, and Burke Badenhop was just an average relief pitcher. Frankie de la Cruz and Mike Rabelo both have negative career WAR's
Mike Rabelo was a catcher and part of the trade. He now manages Single A Lakeland for the Tigers. I saw Dontrelle pitch before the Tigers let him go. He looked pitiful.
Baseball Elite At the time Templeton was the far superior player. His knees killed him. Still led the league in intentional walks, multiple times, as a Padre. As a Cardinal, was the first player ever to get more than 100 hits from both sides of the plate in a single season. Whitey herzog traded him after he flipped the bird to the home fans.
Not sure about the Ozzie trade. Garry Templeton was a star for the Cardinals and actually was a better all around player than Smith. But Ozzie gained his reputation defensively.
The Mets had Bautista for a couple minutes, we had Carlos Beltran, we had Justin Turner, Carlos Gomez. They also had Nolan Ryan, and they traded away Tom Seaver, they never signed back Daniel Murphy I COULD GO ON with all the good players the Mets had. But I've gotta say the Dickey trade was a great trade for Syndagaard
Yeah they're pretty bad, but in Nolan Ryan's case the problem was the return however. It was complicated but at least the Mets won a ring with him before that happened.
dixmontal Davis was supposed to hit 40 dingers and lead the Os to a World Series. He got injured out of the gate, and the orioles end up last. World Series with him? Last place with our? Must be an MVP. And all three were All Stars. Finley won three gold gloves. Shilling is HOF material. And Harnish wasn’t bad.
What about Brandon Phillips? Literally 2 teams give up on him. He was originally drafted by the Expos but traded to Cleveland and then traded to the Cincinnati Reds a few seasons later. Phillips would win a Gold Glove and became a star with the Reds. The Indians and Expos give up on him way too early
Everyone always forgets about Brock for broglio, getting a hall of famer and trading an almost all-star pitcher who then had a horrible record with a 5+ ERA. It even has a Wikipedia page
No. All I do is stay up and see if I can get there 1st, but if I can't. I'm not first. I also only play video games and watch anime. JK I close my eyes and think about random thoughts. It's calm and relaxing.
in 1991, the Astros traded Glenn Davis to the Orioles for Pete Harnisch, Steve Finley and a pitcher by the name of Curt Shilling. Davis went from being one of the top sluggers in the NL to a bust as an Oriole, hitting only 24 HRs in 3 seasons and then was out of baseball for good. Meanwhile, Harnish won 95 more games pitching, Finley hit 299 more HRs, and Schilling had a Hall of Fame career, helping the Red Sox and Diamondbacks win the World Series. Finley was also a member of the championship winning Diamondbacks.
The miggy trade should be much higher. Andrew Miller, Cameron maybin and the other 4 players never did anything in Florida, while the tigers got: a triple crown winner. 2 time MVP. 4 batting titles. Best opposite field hitter of all time. Best hitter of this generation hands down, top 5 right gander ever
ag02chs in the long run it was a bad trade. Very rarely can you predict a HOF career and Bagwell was not expected to be that. At the time bagwell was far down the depth chart behind Scott cooper who was ranked higher at the time. Also, Andersen helped get them to the playoffs which is what he was acquired to do. Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes a premium price is required in order to win now.
1966 Reds trade Frank Robinson to the Orioles thinking he's getting to old. Frank proved them wrong by winning the triple crown and the 1966 World Series MVP when Baltimore clinched its first World Series. Baltimore would also win the 1970 World Series against Cincinnati as well as the 1969 and 1971 pennant.
Best players by position. 1b Joey votto 2b Jose altuve 3b Manny Machado SS Francisco Lindor RF Stanton CF mike trout LF JD Martinez C Buster Posey Closer: Craig Kimbrel Starting pitcher: Cory kluber Relief pitcher: brad hand I would put Kershaw at number 1 but he got injured the last 2 seasons.
Lou Brock from the Cubs to the Cardinals is one of these. Mr. Brock immediately became a fan favorite in St. Louis winning the '64 and '67 World Series even though he missed out in the '68 World Series while his counterpart Brogolio never caught fire in Chicago and ended up almost like Al Capone.
Heathcliff Slocum to the Seattle Mariners for Jason Varitek and Derrick Lowe at the '97 trade deadline. Lowe became the first starter in League history to win the final game in all three post season series in the '04 Red Sox World Series Run. And Varitek became the Captain for the Sox and the first catcher to catch 4 no hitters from four different pitchers, as well as winning the '04 series with Derrick Lowe, breaking the 86 year World Series drought for Boston.
Winter of '71: Houston sends Joe Morgan, Jack Billingham, Denis Menke, Cesar Geronimo, and Ed Armbrister to Cincinnati for Lee May, Jimmy Stewart, and Tommy Helms. The results? The Reds win at least 5 NL West titles, 3 NL pennants, and 2 World Championships. The Astros hovered around .500 for most of those seasons, and finished last in "75, 43 games out of first place.
Still can't believe the Dodgers traded away Pedro Martinez straight up for Delino Deshields. Then again, the 90s Dodgers were an organization with a front office that constantly didn't know what they were doing. Trading away Mike Piazza? The hell?
Tow of the worst trades they left off: the Cubs trading Lou Brock to the Cardinals for pitcher Ernie Broglio, and the Yankees trading Willie McGee to the Cardinals for Bob Sykes.
My Cardinals have been in their share of one-sided trades. Whether it be getting Lou Brock, Adam Wainwright, Matt Holliday, Jim Edmonds or Lee Smith; or trading away Keith Hernandez, Joe Torre, Dan Haren, Chris Perez, or Steve Carlton.
62Trevor2199 not only Travis Shaw but 2 more prospects. One of which is Maurice dubon. Inured right now but was/is quickly rising thru the system and projects at worst as an everyday SS. Typical dombrowski overpays with no negotiation. Credit where it’s due for the World Series but he didn’t make one move any other GM couldn’t. And they won inspite of him. He was lucky to have 4 starters who had the makeup, willingness and ability/stuff to pitch high leverage innings out of the bullpen in addition to starting.
Ruth got sold to the Yankees, not traded. Cant you make this list more fun by not using that as a cop out for #1 and put some actual thought into most lopsided trade.
How about this one from 2002? Bartolo Colon and Tim Drew going to Montreal while Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Lee Stevens and Brandon Phillips go to Cleveland.
Hunter Pence to the Giants for 2 boxes of used baseballs. In fact, the Phillies are notorious for one sides trades that go against them. Ferguson Jenkins for a pair of tube socks, and literally getting nothing for Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins, and Chase Utley.
Top 10 dominant empires in pro sports (Los Angeles Lakers early 2000s, Packers in the 60s, Dodgers in the 50-60s, Warriors in 2015- Patriots 2000s Indians 40s, Rams 90s, Celtics 50s-70s, etc.)
I always thought the Jays getting near hall of gamer Joe Carter and HOFer Alomar from San Diego was bigger than Bautista. We did have to give up Mcgriff though. Bautista was a straight steal.
Ryan Rios but the real sweetener in that trade was the orioles getting rid of Pedro Strop. “How about a trade? We’ll give you Francisco Rodriquez for Jake Arrieta.” “No deal. Unless you take Pedro Strop too” “No. Jake for K-Rod even up.” “Cash for Strop” “We’re not going to give you Cash for Strop what are you crazy?” “No. Well give you cash to take Strop.” “It’s probably a bad deal. But, fine. Whatever.”
Worst trade ever was when the Cardinals traded Steve Carlton to the Phillies for Rick Wise prior to the 1972 season. Unlike the Ruth 'trade' to the Yankees, there were no extenuating financial issues involved. It was a real baseball move which the Phillies got the best of.
The Tigers trading John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander who played for the Braves in 1987 at the deadline. Smoltz really hadn't put up any good minor league numbers up this point. Doyle went 9-0 after the trade to the Tigers, but they lost to the Twins in the playoffs, who won the WS that year.
Daniel King baseball because if your a catcher bending down the whole game and pitching throwing 90 pitches in one game as hard as you can there's a reason pitchers need a 5 day rest
Ryan Lin MadBum is out for two months, and he's one of the greatest pitchers in the game. Combine that with the Giants' sad sack offence and poor rotation now that MadBum is gone, and you have a recipe for a team that won't contend at all this year.
The Colorado Rockies "Tulo" trade, Troy Tulowitzki to Jays and 3 minor leaguers to Colorado Rockies. One of the worst trades ever, perennial all-star and franchise player for minor leaguers and jaded veteran (Jose) Reyes.
Worst trade ever was Cleveland trading Norm Cash to Detroit for Steve Demeter, who only played 4 more games after the trade, while Cash went on to play 15 seasons, picking up a batting title and world series ring on the way.
As a person who's born and raise in Miami, the Miguel Cabrera trade is the worst trade in history. It's a good thing that Loria sold the team to Jeter and Bush because the fans had enough of him. Hopefully Jeter will do a good job to please the fans.
A rod threatened to purposely play bad if he wasn't traded. He also proclaimed "I don't wanna play with a bunch of kids." Teammates of him on the rangers said he was a liability in the clubhouse.
So far for the Brewers it's looking like Tyler Thornburg for Travis Shaw, I don't remember who else was involved in the trade, but that was a BAD one for Boston! Shaw was an emerging 3B for Boston who not only delt him but Panda as well and had to cut salary because of Panda. Thornburg was also an emerging Relief Pitcher, Thornburg would be injured for the season in Boston while Shaw had a breakout season for Milwaukee. Why Boston didn't just screw us over with Pablo to begin with, I will never know. Now we have a potential All Star 3rd basemen thanks to Boston. I can't wait for the brew crew this year!
I knew the Babe Ruth trade was going to be number 1. It's the most infamous trade in MLB history, and the curse of the Great Bambino haunted the Red Sox for 86 years.
Shelby miller, who later had tommy John surgery, got traded from the braves to the diamondbacks and he didn't do anything there. Mean while the braves got gold glover ender inciarte and 1st round draft pick dansby Swanson.
Blue Jays trading Noah Syndergaard and Travis d'Arnaud for RA Dickey was one of the worst trades.
On the jays side it's sad
Dibsinator ya that was a horrible trade for the mets because you know the jays also got the GOAT Josh Thole
Dibsinator You forgot Josh Thole
Dibsinator baseball Gods made it up to you with the bringer of rain
Dibsinator .... A trade that still has yet to work out, none of the mentioned players have won a World Series yet
What about the diamondbacks trading their entire future for Shelby Miller
JGun101
Dansby Swanson is trash honestly
Mr. Splashteen give him time he's still young
@Mr. Splashteen You wanna fight, he's the future and the next face of the Braves organization. *Disclaimer: I say this as a die hard Braves fan
Chris We can see where both teams currently are......
GO BRAVES!
My son could be on this list 10 times without ever being traded
-Lavar Ball
honestly
David Hamilton "And one"
-Lavar Ball
David Hamilton no doubter
I ment doubt
David Hamilton OMG
Lou Brock trade was pretty one sided.
Many people consider the Brock trade the most one sided in MLB history. I agree
I am stunned that one didnt make this list.
Cubs traded Brock to St. Louis in 1964 for starting pitcher Ernie Broglio + a couple of other guys.
Was thinking about the Cardinals trading away Steve Carlton for Rick Wise, but the Brock trade was terrible too.
The Tigers didn't give up "6 no name players" for Miggy. One was Andrew Miller and another was Cameron Maybin.
theWNBAsuperfan at the time they were.
Let's not forget the padres trading trea turner and Anthony Rizzo
Padres got Wil Myers for Turner. Even if you don't think that's even, it's far from lopsided.
Methodz Highlights Padres also traded Corey Kluber
Wil Myers is good, and the trade is not lopsided, but still pretty bad. Turner should be a key cog in an amazingly versatile and explosive Nationals batting order, while Rizzo helped the Cubs break the curse.
and the Jake Arreita trade.
Mrmetftw I like ur vids
Bartolo Colone to the Expos from Cleveland. Cleveland got Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore and Brandon Philips. Cleveland cleaned up on that trade
I don't think that can be put on here based on the fact of the reasoning. It was long thought that 2002 was going to be the Expos last season in baseball. They were, very surprisingly, in playoff contention. Colon was a great starter at that juncture in his career. Montreal makes that deal not based on the talent they were giving up but the fact that getting to the playoffs in their projected last season was worth it.
top 10 teams that drafted a franchise player late in the draft
John Durann the patriots with Tom Brady
John Durann yeah!
John Durann it4
John Durann 1. Mike Piazza
Last pick in MLB draft(62nd round) Got drafted because his dad was close to the dodgers and forced them to pick him. Now in the Hall of Fame
John Durann Brian Dozier
r.a dickey for noah syndergaard
Dylan Meltzer welcome to braces country
That trade was absolutely awful and should be on this list should a bigger, revised version be released.
Dylan Meltzer well noahs on 6 week DL rn lol and probably wont be back for 7-8 weeks since he cant even throw until those six weeks are done
EthansTv Dickey's not even with the Blue Jays anymore and should retire, whereas Syndergaard's career is just starting.
weakestlink20 yea true
Doyle Alexander traded to the Tigers for John Smoltz traded to the Braves
Yeah hunter I just mentioned that one. Almost 1000 comments now, lol.
Boston trading future HOF Jeff Bagwell to the Astros??????
For 2 months of Larry Andersen.
Reid, that is a great one. Thanks for remembering it buddy.
That was the whole reason I clicked this video. I regret my decision.
They truly dont know anything about sports so I'm really not surprised that was not on the list.
dixmontal in the long run it was a bad trade. At the time bagwell was far down the depth chart behind Scott cooper who was ranked higher at the time. Also, Andersen helped get them to the playoffs which is what he was acquired to do. Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes a premium price is required in order to win now.
top 10 trades that worked great for both teams
David McGookin Michael fulmer and another prospect for cespedes is one
That already happened
David McGookin The A-Rod Trade
Aroldis chapman trade?
Chris Sale for Yoan Moncada
The trade for Cabby was not 6 no name players...Tigers gave up Andrew Miller who is now one of the best relief pitchers in the game. Florida just didn't wait on him
Adam Hupp ya true but it still didn't work out at all for the marlins
also gave up Cameron Maybin who was one of the best prospects in baseball, they never panned out, Miller was a starter not a reliever at that time
Adam Hupp I'm pretty sure the narrator said 6 players who never made an impact on the Marlins. Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin were top prospects, but never panned out like they were supposed to in the Marlins, and Burke Badenhop was just an average relief pitcher. Frankie de la Cruz and Mike Rabelo both have negative career WAR's
Adam Hupp nvm I went back and heard it. Cam Maybin, Andrew Miller and 4 no namers
Mike Rabelo was a catcher and part of the trade. He now manages Single A Lakeland for the Tigers. I saw Dontrelle pitch before the Tigers let him go. He looked pitiful.
The Eckersley trade is not even the worst in Cubs' modern history. That would be future hall-of-famer, Lou Brock, to the Cardinals for Ernie Broglio.
Calling it before I watch it
1. Curse of the Bambino
Edit: Knew it
Called shot.
It's kinda obvious
Mr Fragels called it just like the Bambino himself
Johnny Boy Yes, you can still do it today, it's called cash considerations.
Mr Fragels you didn't edit it
Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek for Heathcliff Slocum was a pretty great deal for Boston.
Eight Reasons THANK YOU !!!!!! Why this trade was not mentioned is critical, because the Red Sox won and broke the curse with these two on the team.
How is Lou Brock being traded to the Cardinals not on this list? To this day, Cub fans are still hurt about that.
Or the Cardinals trading Steve Carlton away?
Frank Robinson to the Orioles
That trade happened on the day that I was born and I'm an Oriole fan.
Cubs trading Lou Brock and padres trading Ozzie Smith
Baseball Elite At the time Templeton was the far superior player. His knees killed him. Still led the league in intentional walks, multiple times, as a Padre. As a Cardinal, was the first player ever to get more than 100 hits from both sides of the plate in a single season. Whitey herzog traded him after he flipped the bird to the home fans.
Not sure about the Ozzie trade. Garry Templeton was a star for the Cardinals and actually was a better all
around player than Smith. But Ozzie gained his reputation defensively.
The Mets had Bautista for a couple minutes, we had Carlos Beltran, we had Justin Turner, Carlos Gomez. They also had Nolan Ryan, and they traded away Tom Seaver, they never signed back Daniel Murphy I COULD GO ON with all the good players the Mets had. But I've gotta say the Dickey trade was a great trade for Syndagaard
Yeah they're pretty bad, but in Nolan Ryan's case the problem was the return however. It was complicated but at least the Mets won a ring with him before that happened.
Nolan Ryan was not very good with the Mets. He had no control and was always developing blisters. He did not
blossom until he went to the Angels.
No Lou Brock to the Cards for basically nothing?
Josh Donaldson for Brett lawrie
Dylin Walters Brett lawrie and Kendall graveman. Does nobody know that the A's can't afford great players like Donaldson.
What about the Noah syndagaard trade?
what about Glenn Davis for Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch and Curt Schilling
Actually all the trades involving Schilling look pretty one-sided now.
dixmontal Davis was supposed to hit 40 dingers and lead the Os to a World Series. He got injured out of the gate, and the orioles end up last.
World Series with him?
Last place with our?
Must be an MVP.
And all three were All Stars. Finley won three gold gloves. Shilling is HOF material. And Harnish wasn’t bad.
Donaldson trade better be on here
Smh they missed it
It was a good trade. They couldn't afford Donaldson so instead of waiting for his contract to end they actually got something for him.
What about Brandon Phillips? Literally 2 teams give up on him. He was originally drafted by the Expos but traded to Cleveland and then traded to the Cincinnati Reds a few seasons later. Phillips would win a Gold Glove and became a star with the Reds. The Indians and Expos give up on him way too early

Everyone always forgets about Brock for broglio, getting a hall of famer and trading an almost all-star pitcher who then had a horrible record with a 5+ ERA. It even has a Wikipedia page
I'm an O's fan so I hate this but Scott Feldman for Pedro Strop and Jake Arrieta.
Bartolo Colon for Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips and Grady Sizemore should be up there
Who needs notification squad when you are always on TH-cam.
No. All I do is stay up and see if I can get there 1st, but if I can't. I'm not first. I also only play video games and watch anime. JK I close my eyes and think about random thoughts. It's calm and relaxing.

Finley was also a member of the championship winning Diamondbacks.
The R.A Dicky Noah Syendergaard trade
The miggy trade should be much higher. Andrew Miller, Cameron maybin and the other 4 players never did anything in Florida, while the tigers got: a triple crown winner. 2 time MVP. 4 batting titles. Best opposite field hitter of all time. Best hitter of this generation hands down, top 5 right gander ever
Ummmm.... Larry Anderson for HOF Jeff Bagwell, anyone???
Totally. Loved Larry but Baggy is a HOF’er!
ag02chs in the long run it was a bad trade. Very rarely can you predict a HOF career and Bagwell was not expected to be that. At the time bagwell was far down the depth chart behind Scott cooper who was ranked higher at the time. Also, Andersen helped get them to the playoffs which is what he was acquired to do. Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes a premium price is required in order to win now.
ummmm, Jake Arrieta and Anthony Rizzo?
1966 Reds trade Frank Robinson to the Orioles thinking he's getting to old. Frank proved them wrong by winning the triple crown and the 1966 World Series MVP when Baltimore clinched its first World Series. Baltimore would also win the 1970 World Series against Cincinnati as well as the 1969 and 1971 pennant.
The Astros really messed themselves over when they traded Joe Morgan to the Reds in 1971. That was one of the key components of the Big Red Machine.

10 best trades teams turned down
There was a rumor about Joe DiMaggio/Ted Williams trade.
Indians had a trade in place back in the 90s for Pedro Martinez, only had to give up Jared Wright but they turned the deal down.
Are you serious?
how about every Blue Jays trade between the 2012 and 2013 season
When the Mets traded Tom Seaver to the Reds was bad
It was called the "midnight massacre."
Not for the reds :) who have 2 of the worst trades of all time. Frank Robinson and Christy Mathewson
Heathcliff Slocum to the Seattle Mariners for
Jason Varitek and Derrick Lowe at the '97 trade deadline.
Lowe became the first starter in League history to win the final game in all three post season series in the '04 Red Sox World Series Run.
And Varitek became the Captain for the Sox and the first catcher to catch 4 no hitters from four different pitchers, as well as winning the '04 series with Derrick Lowe, breaking the 86 year World Series drought for Boston.
Lou Brock?
These people don't know jack shit about classic baseball.
Hernandez was a better player than Lou Brock.
Winter of '71: Houston sends Joe Morgan, Jack Billingham, Denis Menke, Cesar Geronimo, and Ed Armbrister to Cincinnati for Lee May, Jimmy Stewart, and Tommy Helms. The results? The Reds win at least 5 NL West titles, 3 NL pennants, and 2 World Championships. The Astros hovered around .500 for most of those seasons, and finished last in "75, 43 games out of first place.
Top 10 NFL kick returns
Glaring omissions: Brpglio for Brock, Slocum for Lowe and Varitek, Andersen for Bagwell, Davis for Schilling and Finley.
Last time I checked Andrew Miller isn't a "no name player"
Took him 5 plus years after the trade to be a shutdown closer. Tigers still won on that deal.
Check again.
Still can't believe the Dodgers traded away Pedro Martinez straight up for Delino Deshields. Then again, the 90s Dodgers were an organization with a front office that constantly didn't know what they were doing. Trading away Mike Piazza? The hell?
Does anyone remember Pedro's brother Ramon also of the Dodgers?
What?! How is Ozzie Smith not on this list?
Tow of the worst trades they left off: the Cubs trading Lou Brock to the Cardinals for pitcher Ernie Broglio, and the Yankees trading Willie McGee to the Cardinals for Bob Sykes.
A.......A.........Brett Lawrie for Josh Donaldson?
My Cardinals have been in their share of one-sided trades. Whether it be getting Lou Brock, Adam Wainwright, Matt Holliday, Jim Edmonds or Lee Smith; or trading away Keith Hernandez, Joe Torre, Dan Haren, Chris Perez, or Steve Carlton.
Tyler Thornburg for Travis Shaw
62Trevor2199 not only Travis Shaw but 2 more prospects. One of which is Maurice dubon. Inured right now but was/is quickly rising thru the system and projects at worst as an everyday SS.
Typical dombrowski overpays with no negotiation.
Credit where it’s due for the World Series but he didn’t make one move any other GM couldn’t. And they won inspite of him. He was lucky to have 4 starters who had the makeup, willingness and ability/stuff to pitch high leverage innings out of the bullpen in addition to starting.
Although, you can't blame the expos on that Randy Johnson trade. they didn't know he was going to become an ace.
Ruth got sold to the Yankees, not traded. Cant you make this list more fun by not using that as a cop out for #1 and put some actual thought into most lopsided trade.
How about this one from 2002? Bartolo Colon and Tim Drew going to Montreal while Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Lee Stevens and Brandon Phillips go to Cleveland.
How about Orioles trading Jake Arrieta to the Cubs?
Eric Chen Orioles also got rid of Pedro Strop in the Arrieta trade
Eric Chen that was good for Jake. He deserved better than the oriole could give him.
Most fans here cheered for Jake when he was traded away.
Arietta was garbage and not likely to do anything in Baltimore. Good scouting but cubs but change of scenery was needed
Hunter Pence to the Giants for 2 boxes of used baseballs. In fact, the Phillies are notorious for one sides trades that go against them. Ferguson Jenkins for a pair of tube socks, and literally getting nothing for Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins, and Chase Utley.
Bartolo Colon??

jake arrieta to the cubs for nobodies
Ryan Rios but the real sweetener in that trade was the orioles getting rid of Pedro Strop.
“How about a trade? We’ll give you Francisco Rodriquez for Jake Arrieta.”
“No deal. Unless you take Pedro Strop too”
“No. Jake for K-Rod even up.”
“Cash for Strop”
“We’re not going to give you Cash for Strop what are you crazy?”
“No. Well give you cash to take Strop.”
“It’s probably a bad deal. But, fine. Whatever.”
The Padres trading away Roberto Alomar was crazy. As a Jays' fan I loved it.
Redsox had Anthony rizzo then they traded him
They have a history of doing this. Pretty shocked Larry Andersen for Jeff Bagwell was left off.
The Miguel Cabrera trade included Andrew Miller who did inevitably skip town but it was a money problem, the Marlins couldn't afford Miggy.
I love this guys voice
Worst trade ever was when the Cardinals traded Steve Carlton to the Phillies for Rick Wise prior to the 1972 season. Unlike the Ruth 'trade' to the Yankees, there were no extenuating financial issues involved. It was a real baseball move which the Phillies got the best of.
WTF How is Lou Brock to St Louis not on this list? Ryne Sandburg to Chicago? Or Ozzie Smith to St Louis? Terrible list
The Tigers trading John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander who played for the Braves in 1987 at the deadline. Smoltz really hadn't put up any good minor league numbers up this point. Doyle went 9-0 after the trade to the Tigers, but they lost to the Twins in the playoffs, who won the WS that year.
David ortiz????? Twins to sox
Eli Benz David Ortiz wasn't traded.
They just let go Ortiz as a free agent.
Ortiz was released by the Twins. The Sox picked him up.
And led them to winning 3 World Series.
Eli Benz No. It was David Ortiz for Dave Hollins that was soooooo bad for the Mariners !!!

Zimmy _07 Hockey is the hardest sport in history.
White Sox trading Fernando Tatis Jr. for James Shields is one of the worst as well
yoenis cespedes for john lester that was a fucking terrible trade
For which team?
Don't forget the A's have one of the lowest budgets in baseball. How do people forget that?
Should number 1 be in here as it was a sale not a trade?
Wanna hear a funny joke
San Francisco Giants
Hugz N Drugzz I don't get it
Ryan Lin MadBum is out for two months, and he's one of the greatest pitchers in the game. Combine that with the Giants' sad sack offence and poor rotation now that MadBum is gone, and you have a recipe for a team that won't contend at all this year.
Hugz N Drugzz I got a funny joke too!
your life

Yet the giants have won three championships in the past 7 years
Chris sale to the Red Sox in January for Yoan Moncada. Moncada went 3 for 24 in his first three games and wasn't showing signs of improvement.
Do the best NFL player makers
The Colorado Rockies "Tulo" trade, Troy Tulowitzki to Jays and 3 minor leaguers to Colorado Rockies. One of the worst trades ever, perennial all-star and franchise player for minor leaguers and jaded veteran (Jose) Reyes.
Best players of bad franchises
Tony Gwynn #0?
Mike Trout
Manny Machado. Cal Ripken Jr for most of his career.
Steve Carlton 1972 Phillies. He won almost half of their games himself. He finished the season 27-10 while the team went 59-97.
Worst trade ever was Cleveland trading Norm Cash to Detroit for Steve Demeter, who only played 4 more games after the trade, while Cash went on to play 15 seasons, picking up a batting title and world series ring on the way.
Adam jones
Loch Tenticle And Chris Tillman don't forget.
Tigers fan here. To be honest, the only good player the marlins got out of the Miggy trade was Cameron Maybin.. but now he plays for LAA.
No Jeff Bagwell to the Astros? AUTO FAIL!!!!
You guys are really sucking lately with everything not an odious #1 on your lists.
As a person who's born and raise in Miami, the Miguel Cabrera trade is the worst trade in history. It's a good thing that Loria sold the team to Jeter and Bush because the fans had enough of him. Hopefully Jeter will do a good job to please the fans.
second
No, you are 3rd
fuck
A rod threatened to purposely play bad if he wasn't traded. He also proclaimed "I don't wanna play with a bunch of kids." Teammates of him on the rangers said he was a liability in the clubhouse.
firts
Dafuq
no
How about Jeff Bagwell to the Astros for Larry Andersen...Fred McGriff, Mike Morgan & Dave Collins to the Blue Jays for Dale Murray?
First
Dang!
yes
So far for the Brewers it's looking like Tyler Thornburg for Travis Shaw, I don't remember who else was involved in the trade, but that was a BAD one for Boston! Shaw was an emerging 3B for Boston who not only delt him but Panda as well and had to cut salary because of Panda. Thornburg was also an emerging Relief Pitcher, Thornburg would be injured for the season in Boston while Shaw had a breakout season for Milwaukee. Why Boston didn't just screw us over with Pablo to begin with, I will never know. Now we have a potential All Star 3rd basemen thanks to Boston. I can't wait for the brew crew this year!
I knew the Babe Ruth trade was going to be number 1. It's the most infamous trade in MLB history, and the curse of the Great Bambino haunted the Red Sox for 86 years.
Shelby miller, who later had tommy John surgery, got traded from the braves to the diamondbacks and he didn't do anything there. Mean while the braves got gold glover ender inciarte and 1st round draft pick dansby Swanson.
