Default Orlando Cepeda Trades!

Being a huge Cepeda fan these 3 transactions over 6 years are pretty impressive.
05-08-1966 Traded by San Francisco Giants to St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Ray Sadecki (May 8, 1966).

Became 1st unanimous NL MVP in 1967!

03-17-1969 Traded by St. Louis Cardinals to Atlanta Braves in exchange for Joe Torre (March 17, 1969).

Torre went on to win 1971 MVP

06-29-1972 Traded by Atlanta Braves to Oakland Athletics in exchange for Denny McLain (June 29, 1972).

McLain would only win 4 more MLB games. Cepeda eventually becomes Red Sox 1st DH.
