Excel,

Yes, that was the trade to Seattle, Heathcliffe Slocum for Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe.

I think if you look back at the playoffs in 2004 both played large parts. Also both were significant players on teams other than 2004 and of course Varitek is the Red Sox team captain.

Slocum on the other hand, did not help Seattle much at all. Usually when announcers discuss lopsided trades, that one comes up.
