Worst non major trades or FA signings you can recall?

I guess Harold Baines for Sosa could be considered a bad trade.

Because the next year the White Sox gave away Sosa to the Cubs.

Stros made a pretty low profile deadline deal for Aubrey Huff in 06 and gave up Ben Zobrist who was in the minors at the time

They had to deal for Huff in part because of how bad Preston Wilson was, which is a FA signing that could qualify for this as well

during the Cubs 03 run, they traded Bobby Hill and Jose Hernandez, and received Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton. Ramirez of course, is one of the most storied players in the franchise history.

that next offseason, the Cubs acquired Derrek Lee for Hee Sop Choi.


Pedro Martinez for Delino Deshields

The Texans signing Ed Reed was a disaster.

Ahman Green was another one in the twilight of his career that was a disaster

The Harper deal was a big signing.

I guess. This is kind of a difficult thread. The Harper deal was "big" then but you wouldn't hear it come up in conversation much on a busts list out side of Dallas/Tampa.

But I'll try to think of more.

An alternative to this would be someone like Thomas Jones, who didn't do much until the Bears got him. So he would be one of the best low profile FA signings.

Montreal trading for Tomas Kaberlae to help the PP he goes basically scoreless and is not even offered a contract in offseason

Was dog shite for Carolina before he even got to Montreal. Just dumb by Les Habs. Everyone knew he was washed up, and I was never a fan even in his productive Toronto seasons.

doyle alexander for john smoltz
