@@andrewclough9717 I don’t think they were necessarily mutually exclusive, unless I’m missing a quote from Atlanta’s FO where they said that they would only take one of the other. But regardless, with Bonds, they could have won in 1992, the year before they got Maddux.
Missed Juan Soto to the Marlins. When JT was being traded from Miami, Nats offered Soto but the Marlins instead wanted Robles. Nats declined to trade Robles…
its funny how many times the Red Sox tried to move Manny. Put him on waivers in 03, almost traded with Jon Lester for ARod, almost traded him outright to the Mets, almost traded Manny in a 4 team deal with the Mets, Devil Rays, Orioles where Manny went to the Mets, Miguel Tejada to the Red Sox and other moving parts, almost traded Manny for Tejada outright, Manny for Michael Young was discussed... and ultimately it was Manny to the Dodgers, Jason Bay to the Red Sox and prospects to the Pirates in 08
Really hope we get the free agent signings that almost happened video from the poll soon. Another cool idea I'd love to see is relocations and expansion teams that almost happened. Keep up the awesome content
@Lighthouse in the Storm in 1999, Expos owner Jeffrey Loria was obsessed with Jeter and wanted him at any cost, even Vlad. But Yankees GM Brian Cashman wouldn't do it because he was already becoming a face of the franchise.
Best closer. I think that's an understatement. Mo saved all those games with one pitch. Just by moving his thumb in or out and up or down he could make that cutter disobey the law's of physics. He was undeniably the greatest closer of all time especially when it came to the Postseason. Also it kills me to say that. As a Royal's fan I can't stand the fucking Yankees. the greatest
MLB retired number 42 in 1997, but they allowed anyone already using the number to continue to use it for the rest of their career. This included Rivera, Mo Vaughn, and a few others. Rivera was the last of these grandfathered players to retire, making him the last player that will ever wear number 42 (aside from the annual Jackie Robinson day).

It’s wild to think that it was a done deal, but it got shot down. One of the more interesting what ifs in sports history imo.
I do believe Manny and Nomar were a part of the three way trade
@@francislewis6666 manny was going to Texas with prospect John Lester and Nomar was going to the the White Sox with cash considerations
If Barry Bonds went to the Braves in 1992, I think it is extremely likely that that team wins at least three or four World Series titles.
Maybe they could've especially with arguably the greatest starting rotation of all time.
They wouldn’t have gotten Maddux if they’d acquired Bonds.

Damn as an Angel fan I would’ve loved seeing Vladdy and Miggy slugging together

I don’t think this was really all that close to happening though.
Holy crap man Barry Bonds to the 90s Braves would have been absolutely terrifying. There would have been multiple championships for sure

That's 'cuz Manny was/is kinda crazy.

I will be doing that one soon! And oh man that’s a great idea!
Totally forgot about Harper to the Astros. That would have been something
How about the Vlad to Yankees, Jeter to Expos trade that almost happened?

i remember the Braves kinda pulling away from that Bonds as well it was no secret Bonds wanted to go home and play for the Giants
Robbie you should do a live stream where we give hot takes and you do a buy/sell! Hope all is well my man
Hot takes shall return soon!
Damn, I wish the Red Sox got A-Hole.
There was a what if trade - Derek Jeter to the Expos for Vladimir Guerrero + Cash, this after winning the world series.
Dang if the Expos/Nationals would have gotten Pujols??? I could only dream!
That Joe DiMaggio picture looks pretty cursed. Lol
boy if the mets got one of those trades they would of won the world series either in 2000 or 2006

Wish Miggy to the Angels happened just so Adenhart could be in the deal. Would’ve saved his life in hindsight
Crazy butterfly effect
I was thinking the same thing. Still feel bad about that accident and angry at that asshole that killed him
I think the two owners were drunk at the time, and forgot about it, the reason we talk about it today is somebody overheard.
In the end, it’s a crazy story 😂
Yeah, they were drunk and in the morning realized it was insane and called it off.
I still have a Lastings Milledge rookie card
How was Rivera able to wear #42?

@@Il_Exile_lI I see. Thanks for explaining that to me
Bro die hard Sox fan stuck in Baltimore please don't ever show Ted in a NYY jersey again.
What about Randy Johnson to Jays?
That’s a good one! Phillies too!
Lastings Milledge, he was so terrible
As a Braves fan. I would've loved to see Bonds in a Braves uni. But we made out pretty well playing against him instead. #BostonBraves all love!
I find it interesting because of Hank Aaron being with the Braves.
If we had of traded for Bonds then we probably don’t sign Maddux after the 92 season.
