Bad trades

[Matt Foley]

Thought I had seen some bad trades before, but a former Expos fan brought this one up on the Angels board...

To Cleveland: Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, Brandon Philips

To Montreal: Bartolo Colon

Ouch.

[Kevin Greene]

A trade that always makes me puke as a Dodger fan, again involving the Expos:

Dodgers traded Pedro Martinez to the Expos for Delino DeShileds.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Babe Ruth for cash.

Smoltz for Doyle Alexander (although it was good for one year)

[Matt Foley]

The Braves recent trade for Teixeira was pretty bad.

[Johnny Rockets]

Wow....ouchy!

This is one that stands out also.

Varitek and Lowe to the Red Sox for Heathcliff Slocumb (to Seattle). I have always had a great distain for Slocumb and I don't know why. He did suck for the Phils but so have many others.

Orioles trade pitchers Curt Schilling, Pete Harnisch and outfielder Steve Finley to the Houston Astros for First Baseman Glenn Davis.

Red Sox trade first baseman Jeff Bagwell to the Houston Astros for pitcher Larry Andersen.

Mariners trade pitcher Derek Lowe and catcher Jason Varitek to the Boston Red Sox for closer Heathcliff Slocumb

Athletics trade first baseman Mark McGwire to the St. Louis Cardinals for pitchers T.J. Matthews, Blake Stein, and Eric Ludwick.

And my personal favorite:

NY Mets trade Nolan Ryan,Catcher Frank Estrad To Angels,For shortstop Jim Fregosi

[jkeough]

not a trade BUT the Rays leaving Josh Hamilton unprotected in Rule 5 draft

[Matt Foley]

NY Mets trade Nolan Ryan,Catcher Frank Estrad To Angels,For shortstop Jim Fregosi

Best trade ever.

Second best: Angels trade Dan Ford to the Orioles for Doug DeCinces.

I know its not MLB but this has to be mentioned

Hawks with the best record in the East trade their leading scorer Dominique Wilkins for Danny Manning.
