As mentioned, can you guys think of another instance in which a player having a historic year, like Ohtani is, was traded midway through the season?

Maris didn't get traded. The Yankees didn't trade Judge. Williams didn't get traded while hitting 400. Neither did Bill Terry. Denny McClain won 30 games for the Tigers. McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds, all not traded.

Can you think of anyone?

Maybe McGwire when he got traded from Oakland to St. Louis? He had 34 Homers through 105 games, and then went on a tear and came close to equaling Maris in 1997, when he finished with 58 homers, cumulatively.

Don't think so. Griffey had 30 by the All Star break that year. McGwire had one extra home run. I have no recollection of a chase between him and Griffey.

The Angels managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last night. Painful to watch.

7 Loses in a Row since the trade deadline. That is not what their fans were hoping for in their final 2 months of his Angels Career. They were in the 3rd Wild Card spot playoff hunt. Now they are fading fast and 8 games behind.

and Yes their Relief Corp is the most Consistent in the League. Sadly they consistently Suck
