That's quite a list. I would add...
Tommy John
December 2, 1971: Traded by the Chicago White Sox with Steve Huntz to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Dick Allen.
Allen was VERY talented. He was also a cancer. The Dodgers won with Tommy John.
Jimmy Wynn
December 6, 1973: Traded by the Houston Astros to the Los Angeles Dodgers for David Culpepper (minors) and Claude Osteen.
Osteen had been a mainstay on the Dodgers. They had plenty of pitching though. Wynn had one great season left in him & it brought us a pennant.
Mike Marshall
December 5, 1973: Traded by the Montreal Expos to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Willie Davis.
Loved 3-Dog. Marshall had a record breaking season that will never be duplicated. He won the Cy Young Award & finished 3rd in MVP balloting. Wynn was fifth. Garvey won it.
Burt Hooton
May 2, 1975: Traded by the Chicago Cubs to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Eddie Solomon and Geoff Zahn.
Happy won over 100 games for the Dodgers.
Reggie Smith
June 15, 1976: Traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Freddie Tisdale (minors), Bob Detherage and Joe Ferguson.
Reggie was the best player on those 1977-78 pennant winning teams. Don Sutton said so. The Dodgers got Ferguson back anyway.
Pedro Guerrero
April 3, 1974: Traded by the Cleveland Indians to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Bruce Ellingsen.
Needs no elaboration.
Jerry Reuss
April 7, 1979: Traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Rick Rhoden.
Loved Rhoden & he was a fine pitcher. Reuss was better though.
