Thanks for tuning in⚾️

The MLB is a league full of what ifs what if Barry Bonds never took steroids what if the Astros never cheated these are things we think about all the time and a big part of MLB wh ifs are trades what if this trade happened what if this

Trade didn’t happen today we’re going to be diving in to MLB trades that almost happened and could have changed the league forever let’s first talk about this potential trade that almost went down according to Jeff passing almost made a trade where it was like aunia

Albz um Kyle Wright it it was like a Litany of dudes and I think they were going to the Yankees Jeff passen would later clear things up saying this was the actual deal that was proposed but that makes things even crazier but hey at least good on the Yankees that they

Didn’t you know actually go through with this trade staying on the topic of the Atlanta Braves what if this deal came to tuition Barry Bonds to the Braves Atlanta’s general manager and the Pirates agreed in principle on a trade that would have sent Alejandro Peña a reliever Keith Mitchell an outfield

Prospect to Pittsburgh for Barry Bonds this happened during an interesting time period too during the 9s if this deal actually did happen the Braves probably would have gone better than one in4 in their five world series appearances during the 9s also I’m just going to say this I

Don’t really have a source when it comes to this I just saw this on mlb.com and I thought it was pretty interesting 1997 the Montreal expose almost traded Pedro Martinez to cleck Cleveland for Baro cologne and Jared Wright and some prospects but Cleveland actually backed out on this one because they were high

On Jared Wright and what he could do he was still young at the time and yeah I guess they didn’t want Pedro but the interesting thing is Baro cologne actually did end up getting sent to the Expos on a completely separate trade that actually involved Grady seis the Ken griffy Junior sweep Stakes

Prior to the 2000 season were wild the Mariners wanted to resign griffy to a big contract but they couldn’t cuz Ken griffy Jr wanted to play somewhere close to Florida near his family Ken griffy Jr was in talks with multiple different Florida teams and with the Reds where he

Grew up in Cincinnati but the most interesting one to me is K griffy Jr very very well could have been a New York Met during the winter meetings his opportunity with the Mets really opened up the two teams did agree on a deal the deal was set all they needed was Ken

Griffy Jr himself to sign off on it and he didn’t the Mets were a very big open window for griffy but he ended up vetoing the deal and signing with the Cincinnati Reds his hometown team where he grew up the Mariners were going to move griffy and a couple places that

They thought were fit one of them was with us met the other one was Cincinnati obviously where he was from and we made a big run at him during the winter meetings that year and actually agreed to in principal with some of the names some of the players Armond bonitz was in

In the mix Jake pton was in the mix but it was all depended on him accepting the deal because he had a a no trade clause he was a 10 to five player so so they went and asked him they didn’t give him much time and because he wasn’t able to

Really think about it he said no lastly we got one of the biggest wha ifs in baseball history Red Sox owner at the time Tom Yaki and Yankees owner at the time Dan toing met at a bar and they were about to make a deal sending Joe damaggio to

The Red Sox and Ted Williams to the New York Yankees they met at a bar and got super drunk and almost made this happen yeah if this doesn’t represent like 1930s and 40s baseball than I don’t know what does owners and players really just didn’t care but it is insane that this

Trade almost could have happened between two absolute Baseball Legends but that’ll be it for today’s video I hope it was an interesting look at MLB trades that almost happened but yeah thanks for tuning in have a good rest of your Day
