Atlanta sports fans can recall many memorable local trades, such as when Dale Murphy left the Braves and later when Fred McGriff arrived. Such as the Falcons trading Brett Favre to the Packers after one season here. Such as David Justice leaving town slightly more than one season after his memorable World Series home run.
While those were significant, here are a few trades involving players who left lasting impressions on the Atlanta teams that either acquired them or traded them – including one player’s arrival AND departure.
These aren’t necessarily the most significant or most memorable trades ever locally, but a group worth looking back on to remember fondly or to lament that they happened.
