[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1588918, member: 26283"] That trade ranks up there pretty high. There was also... Jenkins for Larry Brown Sandberg and Bowa for Ivan DeJesus Derrek Lee for Choi. But I think the all-time greatest Cubs trade - at least in my lifetime - has to be Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton from the Pirates for Jose Hernandez, Bobby Hill and a bag of used baseballs. Hill played 185 games for the Pirates, OPS-ing .689, and was out of baseball. Hernandez hit .223 in 58 games for the Pirates and was released. Lofton hit .327 for the rest of the season and was instrumental in the Cubs winning the division. He left in free agency, played four more seasons, hitting over .300 and averaging more than 20 steals a year. He probably should be in the HoF. Ramirez played 9 seasons for the Cubs, hit 239 home runs, consistently put up a .300/.350/.530 slash line and is one of the best players in Cubs history, easily the best 3rd baseman between Santo and Bryant.
