In one of the biggest player Swaps in history the Astros and Padres swap 15 players

Ā 

 

On December 28Ā , 1994 — In the centuryā€™s fourth-largest trade, the biggest since 1957, the Astros send infielders Ken Caminiti, Andujar Cedeno and Roberto Petagine, outfielder Steve Finley and pitchers Brian Williams and Sean Fesh to San Diego for infielders Craig Shipley and Ricky Gutierrez, outfielders Derek Bell and Phil Plantier and pitchers Doug Brocail and Pedro Martinez. It’s a thinly-disguised salary dump and, were it not for Bell’s success, would have been regarded as one of the worst trades in club history. Caminiti and Finley blossom into All-Stars who lead the Padres to the N.L. title in 1998. Bell and Gutierrez are the only salvageable parts for the Astros and they are both gone after the 1999 season.
