The Dodgers made the right decision by backing out of the three-team trade, as Brad Penny became a key player, earning two All-Star selections and finishing third in Cy Young voting in 2007.
Despite the holdup in the deal, both Randy Johnson and Shawn Green were eventually traded to the Yankees and Diamondbacks respectively, although the initial trade fell through.
Shawn Green's tenure with the Dodgers was impressive, showing strong performance with a .280 average, 162 home runs, and 509 RBI over 798 games.
Of the prospects acquired by the Dodgers in the originally proposed trade, only Dioner Navarro made a significant impact, debuting with a solid rookie year in 2005.
