Aug. 30, 2014: IFs Ivan De Jesus and Jemile Weeks to Red Sox for IFs Kelly Johnson and Michael Almanzar

Grade: C

“C” stands for “completely forgettable,” which this trade certainly was. None of the four players involved in this deal played any significant role for their new teams. Johnson was the biggest name of the bunch, but he batted just .231 with a .744 OPS in 19 games with the Orioles and went 0-for-2 in the playoffs. Still, the trade allowed him to complete the AL East cycle — he played for all five teams in the division in a span of three years.
