Pedro Guerrero was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Cleveland Indians in 1974 for minor leaguer Bruce Ellingsen. Initially limited in playing time, Guerrero flourished as a starter in 1981, earning multiple All-Star selections and significant accolades, including co-World Series MVP. Over his 11 seasons with the Dodgers, he solidified his status with impressive performance, including a record contract in 1984. Guerrero concluded his career with the St. Louis Cardinals, leaving a lasting impact with a .300 batting average and numerous achievements.
"In 1981, Guerrero finally got his shot to be a starter and excelled, making his first of five All-Star appearances and contributing to the Dodgers' World Series win."
"The Indians traded Guerrero to the Dodgers for Ellingsen, a deal that proved highly lopsided as Guerrero became a significant player for the Dodgers for many years."
