Worst Pirates Trades Ever: Willie Randolph, Dock Ellis and Ken Brett for Doc Medich

Editor’s Note: With the lockout here and a serious lack of baseball news to write about, we figured now is the time to talk about some fun historical stuff. So we’re going to be running a Best and Worst Pirates Trades series. We’re not going to rank them, but each writer is going to pick out a best or worst Bucco move of their choice and revisit it. It’ll give us something to pass the time. Enjoy the series! - DY

It’s difficult to rank the worst trades in Pittsburgh Pirates history because whatever is the opposite of beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
