Another big one that worked out OK for both teams:
6/14/84: Cubs get Rick Sutcliffe, Ron Hassey, and George Frazier. Cleveland got Joe Carter, Mel Hall, and two minor league pitchers.
Sutcliffe won a Cy Young and finished 4th in the MVP in 1984 after going 16-1 with Chicago. He would lead the NL in wins in 1987 as well. Unfortunately for Chicago, he got bombed in game 5 of the '84 NLCS as the Cubs blew a 2-0 games lead to lose in 5 to San Diego.
Joe Carter did alright for himself in Cleveland, leading the league in RBI and putting up big numbers his last four years there. Ended up in the HOF.
