Adam Jones was one of five players traded by the Seattle Mariners for Canadian Pitcher, Erik Bedard, in the Winter of 2008.  Had it just been straight-up Bedard for Jones, the Mariners still would have lost the trade.

The favorite of many sabremetricians, Bobby Grich, is known more for his latter stay with the California Angels, but he cut his teeth initially with the Baltimore Orioles.

Vern Stephens’ MLB career began with the St. Louis Browns when he debuted for the team in 1941.  As many baseball players made their way to serve the military during World War II, Stephens was one of the players who were still in the Majors.  His first full season was 1942, where he finished fourth in MVP voting, and he went to his first All-Star Game in 1943, which was his first of three as a Brown.  Stephens showed good power numbers with three consecutive 20 Home Run seasons (1943-45), with a league-leading 24 in 1945, and he was also first in 1944 in RBIs with 109 in 1944.  That season, he helped the Browns reach the World Series, albeit in a losing effort.

The Montreal Expos were the second team that Ken Singleton played for, which was where he established himself as a bona fide everyday baseball player.  The Expos traded him (which they would regret) to Baltimore, and he would do even better playing in the state of Maryland.
