Schoenfield: The four-team trade in 1977 involving the Rangers, Pirates, Mets and Braves, involving 11 players. Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven was the best player, going from the Rangers to the Pirates. The Rangers acquired outfielder Al Oliver, a three-time All-Star at the time, from the Pirates, and Jon Matlack, one of the best lefties in the game, from the Mets. The Braves acquired prospects from the Rangers and sent first baseman Willie Montanez, an All-Star in 1977, to the Mets. The big winner? Pittsburgh, as Blyleven would help the Pirates win the 1979 World Series. We definitely need more four-team trades! (Make it happen, Jerry Dipoto.)Cincinnati Reds Face Masks

Tyler Heineman and Chadwick Tromp were the other two catchers on the initial list, and both saw plenty of big-league time, with Heineman serving as the opening day catcher. Guys like Darin Ruf and Joey Rickard came to camp on non-roster deals and saw playing time. Pablo Sandoval technically was a non-roster invitee. Atlanta Braves Face Masks
