Think about some of the worst trades that the Pittsburgh Pirates have made. What comes to mind? Some, or maybe everyone nowadays, would say the Chris Archer deal. Some might say the Aramis Ramirez/Kenny Lofton trade in 2003. Others, like our own Robert Kelley, might search the history books and talk about the infamous Doc Medich deal in 1975.
