Free Agent Signing Trade - Jimmy Key for David Wells
I know it wasn't technically a trade, but the Yankees signed Wells so as usual the Orioles had to react (amazing the bad decisions they make reacting to the Yankees) and signed Jimmy Key.
Wells was a key part of multiple WS championships, threw a perfect game and is somewhat of an icon in Yankees lore (fat guy pitcher who you would love to drink a beer or 8 with).
Jimmy Key was just another pitcher as the Orioles sank into one of the longest stretches of ineptitude in MLB history.
OK, maybe not the most foolish, but as an example of the foolishness of a franchise, it's hard to beat.
