With the recent flurry of trades in the NHL, got me thinking what are some of the worst trades in Sports history.

Juan Samuel, Lenny Dykstra trade.
Nolan Ryan traded from Mets before he was a HOF.

There are a million.

How about the Cowboys trading Herschel Walker to the Vikings for 3 Super Bowl Titles.

Or the Knicks trading Patrick Ewing for Luc Longley and Glen Rice...thats the main reason the Knicks are where they are now salary cap wise. After that move stemmed another bad move, and another, until you have the mess that you have now.

Cluster, you mentioned NFL trade.

What about Ricky Williams in exchange for the New Orleans Saints' franchise for the next 45 years?

Yeah, Mets have had quite a few.

Nolan Ryan (HOF)+ Leroy Stanton for washed up Jim Fregosi.
Amos Otis (multiple all star) for washed up Joe Foy
Tom Seaver in prime for Pat Zachary, Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson, Dan Norman

Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio.

What about Sales? Sale of Babe Ruth, Sale of Julius Erving?

I guess if I was a Yankee fan I would have liked Roberto Kelly for Paul O'Neill (crybaby).

Rob Blake for Adam Deadmarsh, Blake helps Avs win Stanley Cup

I'll think of more in a bit.

No way, I dont think the Kings have done too bad with Deadmarsh and Miller. They nearly beat the Avalanche in the playoffs last year and have been one of the best teams in the NHL over the past couple of months. If they had a goalie better than Felix Potvin they could probably be a serious Cup Contender.

Rob Blake helped Colorado win the cup, but guys like Sakic, Roy, Bourque, Drury, and Hejduk might have a little to do with it too.

That was the Chicago to Chicago deal.. he began his career with Texas and was traded with Wilson Alvarez and Scott Fletcher (just remembered) to the White Sox for Harold Baines and I think somebody else, in '89

The Phillies trading Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg to the Cubs for Ivan DeJesus. They will never live that down.

Vlade Divac. That really wasn't their fault, Kobe refused to play for Charlotte.

A few other doozies:

Nets-76ers Julius Erving for cash (and not even alot of cash)

Yanks-M's Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps
Yanks-Red Sox Babe Ruth for cash (I believe)
Mets-Indians Jeff Kent and Jose Vizcaino for Carlos Baerga

Didn't the Mets also trade David Cone for Ryan Thompson and Jeff Kent?

Once again, Not Harold Baines. George Bell!!

OK I guess your talking about the Texas to Whitesox deal. Thats not the trade in question though. Sosa never flourished for the Whitesox, and Harold Baines is a Hall of Famer.

The bad trade which this topic is about was the Whitesox-Cubs trade where George bell went to the Whitesox and Sammy Sosa went to the Cubs.

True..though Bell and the White Sox had a couple of good years, 93-94. Still a bad trade though

And I don't think Baines is such a HOF lock, he'll probably make it eventually though, since everybody does nowadays. He didn't reach 400 HR, or 3,000 hits, and pretty much stopped playing defense in 1987. But if Gary Carter came as close as he did, I'm sure Baines will get in at least on 2nd ballot

Was this such a bad trade? Mets weren't going to re-sign Cone, and we now see what Kent turned out to be.

As far as Mets bad trades go, remember when they traded away Kent to Indians, Indians sent him to Giants (for Matt Williams who didn't do much in cleveland) before he became good. Same with Jeremy Burnitz (sent to cleveland, but became good when cleveland dealt him).

As for David Cone deals, Mets ripped off KC worse:
David Cone for Ed Hearn

He HAD to go when he was a Met though. Hopefully he'll be what he was in Milwaukee.

We still need pitching.

Dodgers gave up Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields.

Expos gave up Pedro Martinez for Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr.

Yankees gave up Eric Milton, Cristian Guzman, Danny Mota, Brian Buchanan and $3 million for Chuck Knoblauch.

And who was this trade Bad for?

Knoblauch was a key contributor for 3 World Championship Teams, and Eric Milton is one of the best young pitchers in Baseball for Minnesota

Are you serious? Key contributor?

Knoblauch botched more routine throws than even Steve Sax, and his offense was awful too. He never lived up to the gold glove winning, high OBP second baseman the Yankees were supposedly getting.

And like you said, Milton has turned into a VERY good pitcher. Hell, Guzman alone turned out to be as good, if not better than Blauch-head.

If you talk about bad trades, how bout the Gretzky trade from Edmonton to LA. What was the other guys' name again that Edmonton got in return? Jimmy Carter or something like that... Terrible trade for Edmonton though.

Oh please. Was the guy what he was in Minnesota? No? Did he need to be? No.

Its not like the guy hit .220 for 4 years. When Kansas City makes their first appearance at Yankee Stadium and Chuck Knobluach gets a standing ovation, then tell me again how the guy was a useless and this should be considered one of the worst trades ever.
