Trade Kwiz

Carlos Gomez was the high ceiling guy we gave up to get Johan.

I'm busting a gut here. What was it?

We shipped a one-time hot pitching prospect to a West Coast team for a relief pitcher during Spring training. That relief pitcher was remembered for something more than his pitching. The guy we traded had brief appearances with the team we traded him to, and the Cubs.

You mean you didn't like Roger Cedeno and his sub-par defense, middling OBP and total absence of power?

Dodgers , Duaner Sanchez

[DocTee]

Was the ChiSox trade how we acquired Brian McCann?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

No in the Wite Sox trade we gave up a catcher and got a pitcher. The pitcher's name was more remarkable than his pitching was.

[MFS62]

Ramon Castro for Lance (He never saw his name in lights on)Broadway.

Still looking for 2013 Rockies trade: fringey pitcher with an unexpectedly long career ahead for a speedster with a weak bat.and 2015 trade with a mystery west coast club

By process of elimination it's got to be San Diego but not a clue who they traded for. I remember Cameron/Nady and Heath Bell/Royce Ring for Ben Johnson/Jon Adkins (I was sure both of those guys would be better than they were)…but no recollection at all of a 2015 trade.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good work everyone



The Rockies trade was Collin McHugh for Eric Young Jr. McHugh was DFAed when we made that trade, I don't think anyone would have pegged him as having an 11year MLB career including key positions on a World Series winner.



Young was one of those guys who wound up with more playing time that anyone thought was ideal. I believe he won the stolen base title that year.



The San Diego trade was Cory Mazzoni for Alex Torres and giant hat.



Thanks for playing Name That Trade

I am embarrassed for forgetting the trade that sent Buzzy west. In my mind, she and he went straight to Houston.
