Worst baseball trades thread, or, why did the Cubs trade Lou Brock?

It was really fucking loud. Like being at a carnival.

Screw all Anheuser Busch products.

 

Lot of things went to that trade including Carlton wanting more money. Wise wanted more too but and there were many who felt that, at that time, Wise was the better pitcher.
The Phillies and Cardinals have a rich history of making headline grabbing trades. The Curt Flood saga may be the highlight of them all. He refused to go to Philly and that began free agency.
