Thread: Worst trade you've ever made?

  1. #1

    History Worst trade you've ever made?

    Mine's pretty easy...

    Going to Pitt: C Ellis Bennett, 1B Carl Ybanez, LF Henry Saleem. Going to Bos: P Robbie Olsen, P Jimmy Miesner, P Leo Medina, C John Smith, C Fernando Pena.

    Olsen has sucked huge balls...took a ratings hit almost immediately, and cost a lot to resign. Miesner's been OK, Medina sucked and continues to suck, John Smith was expensive and bad. Pena's been the best part of the deal for me, but Ybanez and Saleem are two of the best young players in the league, and Bennett's a serviceable backup catcher for Pitt.


    What's yours?

    The Ybanez guy is going to be a popular gent here,

    (Going to SD: SS Ronald Krull, 1B Carl Ybanez, P Lanny Triggs. Going to Pit: P Joseph Matheson, 3B Jaime Barboza)..


    Um, so, made that for a run in 2032. Matheson got hurt and I ..still won the World Series. Then I couldn't really afford to keep him around, so I traded him for the current 3rd string catcher who will never develop for me. But hey, at least Matheson actually got a ring last season. Ybanez finally developed, Krull still owns and will likely get paid by a dumbass next off season and Barboza..sigh. At least he's in good hands with Saber. I've got nothing left from that deal.

    Mine is easily the deals I wasn't allowed to make with Krull and Bemudez.

    I don't know why it doesn't show up, but I traded Florida's all-star catcher Amandis Garcia for 2 mediocre minor league pitchers and a scrub catcher just to get rid of his contract that he wasn't earning, but at least I didn't pay much/anything to get Garcia. Garcia was ok for me but he's been awesome for Florida. I wonder why that trade was allowed to go through?

    So far here I have only made 3 trade and they are all in the HSL league so the verdict is yet to be out if any of those trades sucked or not.
