How about this one? July 31, 2007: Traded Beau Jones, Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Jarrod Saltalamacchia to Texas Rangers for Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay. July 29, 2008: Traded Mark Teixeira to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for Stephen Marek and Casey Kotchman. Teixeira was a great player for them in 2007 and 2008 (6.1 WAR over the two partial seasons) but they missed the playoffs in 2007 (finished behind the Mets) and when they traded him a year later they didn't get anything good in return.
