Bad trade but this guys career was still a solid ML career. 209 wins is pretty good.

I know Reds fans didn’t like it but a few years later the Big Red Machine was assembled so they forgot how mad they were then.

Yep, not one of the most lopsided exchanges in baseball history by a long shot. That honor would go to the Red Sox for selling Babe Ruth's contract to the Yankees for cash. Or the Cubs trading Lou Brock to the Cardinals for Ernie Broglio who proceeded to finish his career with Chicago with a 7-19 record.

Pappas, on the other hand, proceeded to play another eight years and turn in a very respectable 140-113 record.
