The Baltimore Orioles have a ton of players in their history who either performed ok or below average but then they were traded to other teams and their performance excelled. A prime example is Jake Arrieta. Arrieta was drafted by the Orioles in 2007 and debuted for the team in 2010. In his four seasons with the Orioles, he had a 20-25 record and a 5.46 ERA. Arietta was traded to the Cubs in 2013. In 2015, Arrieta won the NL Cy Young Award with a 22-6 record and a 1.77 ERA. He backed up his 2015 performance in 2016 by winning 18 games (including a no-hitter) and a 3.10 ERA. He also performed well for the Cubs in the post-season winning both of his 2016 World Series pitching appearances with a 2.38 ERA. I can post many more examples throughout Orioles history. Did your team have any average players who went on to greatness with other teams?

The Orioles had the same thing happen with Schilling, but worse because Curt was dominant for much longer than Jake was. For the Yankees, I still think the two prime examples would be Willie McGee and Fred McGriff. I'm not mentioning Jay Buhner, because I just don't look at him in the same light. He's more like Doug Drabek - both were great for short periods of time. McGee and McGriff were dominant for a decade. For the Mets, I think you can start and finish with Nolan Ryan.

Montreal Expos trade Randy Johnson + 2 other pitchers to Seattle for Mark Langston. We know the rest.

The Blackhawks trading Phil Esposito to the bruins comes to mind.

Well... Pittsburgh Pirates, so there are quite a few. Jason Schmidt came to the Pirates as part of the Denny Neagle trade in 1996. He went 42-45 for them from 1996 to 2001. He gets traded to the Giants in 2001, goes 78-37 for them with 3 All-Star selections and 2 top 5 CYA finishes. Tyler Glasnow bounced up and down in Pittsburgh's system from 2016-2018, then gets traded to the Rays in the disastrous Chris Archer Trade and becomes a big part of the Rays' pitching staff.

Not quite the same, but we (Birmingham City) had Michael Carrick on loan circa 1998 and he looked mediocre, yet played for England in the Euros within a decade and won the League five times. We sold Jude Bellingham a couple of years ago and he's going to be an outright all-time great, but we all knew that anyway and we couldn't afford to keep him.

Jimmy Smith and Danny Amendola - It was after they achieve their success in Jacksonville and St. Louis/New England that I even realize they were at one point Dallas Cowboys.

The Phillies traded away (early 80s) a virtual prospect 'Ryne Sandberg' to the Cubs in exchange for a box of donuts
