History favors baseball teams that go for it at the annual trade deadline. But sometimes, even the best buyers get snakebitten.

Note: It's Derek "LOW".
Only the current Bucs 2B pronounces it like a psychopath.

Derek Lowe. As in, a low ERA

Baez for PCA will be on the next installment 😅

Kind of wild that from 2007-2022, the Padres traded prospects David Freese, Anthony Rizzo, Corey Kluber, Trea Turner, Andres Munoz, Max Fried, Mackenzie Gore, CJ Abrams, and James Wood (those last three were for Juan Soto, so that makes sense). All those prospects for two playoff series wins is...not ideal.

2006 Mariners trading Asdrubal Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo to Cleveland for platoon DH of Ben Broussard (not TECHNICALLY a rental, but -0.2 WAR in '06, -0.5 WAR in '07) and Eduardo Perez (-0.9 WAR in '06) has got to be pretty bad seeing what Cabrera (21.2 WAR between '07 and '14) and Choo (24.9 WAR between '07 and '14) became.

In 1997, Mariners traded for closer Heathcliff Slocumb from the Red Sox for the stretch run in exchange for minor leaguers Derek Lowe & Jason Varitek

Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields. I'm still convinced that someone in the Dodgers front office tagged the wrong Alvarez in that trade

Jim Edmonds another HOF snub. He was so much fun to watch play and that pretty swing.

The strength to make this as a Mets fan.. Jolly really is one of one.

I love how these videos basically just turn into Jolly being like “hey remember this awful thing the Mets did” by the end of the video then connects it to other similar moves.

Bordick had a 5.000 OPS after 1 ab with the mets though

1913 trade deadline was a BANGER. Kap McGliskey for Johnny Sampson, Sloppy Dick Thistle for Horseshoe Weston, AND Rick “Thick Brow” Shaw for Whitey Danger. Unbelievable set of trades 👌🏼

2012 The Rangers trading Kyle Hendricks to the Cubs for Ryan Dempster who totally flamed out in Texas

PCA is definitely the worst trade the Mets have made, but the Mora trade was also rough. Our team just can't make good trades in any era

Here's a video idea, maybe even a series: Best Late Bloomers in MLB history. So many dudes to pick from, recent and old.

As a Cardinals fan, thank you for adding the Freese trade even if it didn't really fit the title of the video.

@tylerclifton9811 2 months ago

Shields for Tatis Jr if that hasn’t been done yet

@isaacrodriguez2205 2 months ago

2006 Seattle trading Asdrubal Cabrera for Eduardo Perez, oof

@topicbaseball 2 months ago

speaking of bad mets trades, a couple months for javy baez for PCA is looking like it might end up being the worst trade by war exchange in the entire history of baseball.
