I saw the Yankees almost traded Mariano Rivera to the Mariners in 96'. 
What other big trades fell through over the years in sports?

Barry Bonds to the Braves while with the Pirates.

That would've changed so many people's opinion of him, if he broke Aaron's record as a Brave with Aaron there at the Ted to support him

Scottie Pippen to the Celtics for the 3rd and 6th picks in the Tim Duncan draft. The picks ended up being Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer although the Bulls probably wouldn't have picked the same players.

Tyson chandler to OKC but failed the physical. Back when chandler was NEVER healthy

What? I never heard this.

It almost happened right before the draft. Pitino was banking on getting the first or second pick. Back then, everyone knew Duncan was a superstar, but van Horn was almost as highly regarded.
And the Bulls were unhappy with Pippen's salary demands.

Barkley was almost traded to the Lakers while with the Sixers (saw this in the Barkley at 50 special).

Bungles turned down 9 draft picks for the 3rd overall pick from the Saints so they could draft Akili Smith

Ted Williams for Joe DiMaggio straight up.
Could have been good for both teams.

Would have been amazing for the Pistons.

Joe Dumars has taken a lot of criticism the last few years (Darko pick, Ben Gordon, Charlie V., etc). He's been somewhat hamstrung by the recent ownership change. If this move would have gone down...his recent legacy would have been much different.

Not the biggest but the Lions almost got Ronnie Brown from the Eagles for RB Jerome Harrison. It turned out Harrison had a tumor that was discovered during the physical.
ETA: oops, actually a voided trade
