City's 10 Worst Trades
1. Browns trade DE Willie Davis to the Green Bay Packers for DE A.D. Williams, 1960. Hall of Famer Davis was the defensive leader of Green Bay's famous dynasty. Williams played one year as a Browns backup.
2. Indians trade OF Rocky Colavito to the Detroit Tigers for OF Harvey Kuenn, April 17, 1960. Maybe the most popular Indians player ever, the franchise went into a tailspin after Colavito left.
3. Cavaliers trade 1982 first-round draft choice (became overall No. 1 pick, F James Worthy) and G Butch Lee to the Los Angeles Lakers for F Don Ford and Lakers' 1980 first-round pick (became G Chad Kinch), Feb. 15, 1980. Everyone but the Cavs knew this was trading a premium pick for a lousy one.
4. Browns trade DL Henry Jordan to the Green Bay Packers for a fifth-round pick (became FB Bob Jarus), 1959. Hall of Famer Jordan became a perfect complement to Willie Davis.
5. Browns trade DE Doug Atkins and QB Ken Gorgal to the Chicago Bears for third- (became E Larry Ross) and sixth- (became T Sherman Plunkett) round picks, 1956. Atkins was yet another youngster developing into a Hall of Famer dealt by Paul Brown.
6. Indians trade 1B Norm Cash to the Detroit Tigers for 3B Steve Demeter, April 12, 1960. Cash slugged 373 more homers; Demeter had five more at-bats.
7. Cavaliers trade 1983 (became star G Derek Harper) and 1986 (became star F, but troubled, Roy Tarpley) first-round draft picks and F Bill Robinzine to the Dallas Mavericks for F Richard Washington and F Jerome Whitehead, Oct. 30, 1980. One of bizarre trades during Ted Stepien's ownership, prompting the NBA to impose a trade moratorium on the Cavs.
8. Browns trade WR Paul Warfield to the Miami Dolphins for the first pick in the draft, used to pick QB Mike Phipps, 1970. Warfield continued his Hall of Fame excellence while Phipps was doomed by aging team around him.
9. Indians trade 2B Jeff Kent, P Julian Tavarez and IF Jose Vizcaino to the San Francisco Giants for 3B Matt Williams, Nov. 13, 1996. Kent had eight 100-RBI seasons, Tavarez is still going and Williams was in Cleveland for one All-Star season.
10. Indians trade OF Shoeless Joe Jackson to the Chicago White Sox for OF Braggo Roth, OF Larry Chappell, P Ed Klepfer and cash, Aug. 20, 1915. No "Black Sox" scandal for Jackson if not for this deal.
