#5. Orioles Give Up On Future Star MLB Star Josh Hader (2013)

The Trade:

The 2013 trade deadline was one to forget for the Baltimore Orioles. In the first of two ultimately disastrous trades, the Orioles gave up a future MLB star.

Baltimore sent pitching prospect Josh Hader and outfielder L.J. Hoes to the Astros in exchange for starting pitcher Bud Norris.

Norris struggled mightily outside of a strong 2014 as an Oriole and was quickly let go after posting an ERA north of seven in 2015.

While Hader would never be called up to Houston, he would turn into one of baseball’s dominant relievers a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Now 25, Hader has already twice been named an all-star and in 2018 was named the Trevor Hoffman 2018 national league reliever of the year.

Hader, a Maryland native, could have become a home town hero. Instead, he’s making Orioles fans think what if from afar.
