It truly is amazing how many of these poor decisions have come over the past 20 years. Some decisions we are fortunate enough to have the benefit of hindsight. While some look bad at the time, and only get worse as time goes on.
We kick off our series with a deal famous in both Seattle and Boston. No, not Bragg for Moyer. Instead, the Mariners gave the Red Sox two key cogs in their drought breaking 2004 World Series team. Our 5th worst decision in Mariners history is:
Trading Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe to Boston for RP Heathcliff Slocumb
Many Mariners fans would consider this the worst trade in Mariners history, and they might not be wrong.
