Teixiera & Mayhay to the Braves for Elvis Andrus, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, (both every day starters) , Neftali Feliz and Matt Harrison. Pretty much a steal if you ask me. =) But what do you think was the best trade? thanks.
It's a steal for Texas cause all those guys are still here and playing every day..minus the pitchers
Connor, this is Saltalamacchia's first year as a full time catcher. Give him a break. And Elvis has yet to prove himself? He's lead rookies in 5 or 6 different categories at one point..and gets to more ground balls / double plays than another other SS. He's proved enough.
 
That's not a great trade. Saltalamacchia isn't that good, and Andrus has yet to prove anything. Teixiera is one of the best in the league.

I think the Michael Young and Darwin Cubillan for Esteban Loaiza was a much better trade by the Rangers.

As for the Red Sox, Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek in return for Heathcliff Slocumb.
 
The Giants getting Jeff Kent and the Indians getting Matt Williams. Many thought that Brian Sabean (GM of the Giants) was stupid to make this trade, but it turned out to be great and many great years with the Giants in contention every year. Sure, it was sad to see Matt Williams leave, but when it's all said and done a great move by Sabean. Don't get too many great moves by him these days.


Also J.T. Snow traded to the Giants from the Angels for Allen Watson and Fausto Macey. J.T. was a great Giant for many years, always a all-time great.
