1999
In what is believed to be baseball's first 4-team swap since 1985, the Rockies obtain 3B Jeff Cirillo, Ps Rolando Arrojo and Scott Karl, and IF Aaron Ledesma, the Devil Rays obtain 3B Vinny Castilla, the Brewers obtain Ps Jamey Wright and Jimmy Haynes, and C Henry Blanco, and the Athletics obtain P Justin Miller.
Complicated isn't always better.
1996
The Blue Jays sign free agent P Roger Clemens (10-13) to a 3-year contract worth $24.75 million. The Red Sox' last minute offer falls short and The Rocket's flirtation with the Yankees comes to naught. The Sox are successful in retaining Tim Naehring, who was minutes away from signing with Cleveland.
Well, at least the Sox kept Naehring.
1956
The Dodgers trade Jackie Robinson to the Giants for P Dick Littlefield and $35,000. Robinson retires rather than accept the trade.
Trading Jackie Robinson just seems wrong.
