Executing a great trade can make or break a team. The swap that brought Rollie Fingers, Pete Vuckovich, and recent Hall of Fame inductee Ted Simmons to the Cream City almost brought the Milwaukee Brewers a World Series title. Over the past ten seasons, the Milwaukee Brewers have been relatively fortunate in trades. Some of those trades have brought amazing players to Miller Park, and in some case have been quite lopsided. There is also what players traded to Milwaukee got back for the Brewers when traded to other teams to consider.
