The Rockies' Dye Trade That Didn't Work | Colorado Rockies News

In a bold 2001 move, the Colorado Rockies traded for All-Star outfielder Jermaine Dye—only to flip him to Oakland before he played a game, snagging three prospects in return. Dye went on to become a World Series MVP and hit over 300 homers, while the Rockies’ haul fizzled: José Ortiz flashed power early but faded, and the other two prospects barely made an impact. A cautionary tale in baseball: quantity doesn’t guarantee quality—impact matters more than the number of names on the trade sheet.
