In the world of MLB trades, there are winners and losers. Let’s look back at one trade that every MLB team wishes they could have back.

Every MLB fanbase has at least one trade they wish their team had never made. To be honest, every major league general manager probably has about a dozen trades they’ve made over the years that they’d like to have back.

Trading players is an inexact science. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Of course, no self-respecting GM pulls the trigger on a trade thinking they’re going to get fleeced. Unfortunately, it happens.

But, in baseball, just like in life, there’s no do-overs. With that in mind, let’s take a look at one trade for each MLB franchise that they wish they could take back.

1 trade the Arizona Diamondbacks want to take back: Max Scherzer

Wait, what? Max Scherzer used to play for the Arizona Diamondbacks? That’s right. Arizona selected Scherzer in Round 1 of the 2006 MLB Draft. Scherzer was actually the first player in the history of the University of Missouri to be taken in the first round.

Scherzer would spend his first two professional seasons in the D-backs organization and made his major league debut in 2008 as a reliever. Scherzer joined Arizona’s starting rotation in 2009 and would go 9-11 with an ERA north of 4.00.

During the following offseason, the Diamondbacks dealt Max Scherzer to the Detroit Tigers in a three-team deal that netted them Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson.

Safe to say that with eight All-Star appearances, three Cy Young Awards, and a World Series Championship to his name, the D-backs would like to have that trade back. Scherzer is a sure-fire, first-ballot Hall of Famer.
