He easily could have stuck around a few more years to accumulate stats (like most players). If Fred McGriff is a Hall of Famer - and I believe he is - with a career WAR of 52.6 and a career OPS+ of 134, then Will Clark (56.5 career WAR and a career OPS+ of 137) should be, as well.

He finished 4th in the NL MVP race, and the Dodgers only gave up Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris in a three team deal. Max Scherzer's stats after the trade: 7-0, 1.98 ERA, 1.96 FIP, 214 ERA+, .820 WHIP, 89 Ks, and only 8 walks in 11 starts (Dodgers won each of his starts). The Dodgers gave up catcher Keibert Ruiz, starter Josiah Gray, reliever Gerardo Carrillo, and outfielder Donovan Casey. This was a bigger package than what they gave for Manny, but the Dodgers also got one year and a half of Trea Turner in that deal.

Carlos Beltran to Houston in 2004. World of difference he made to that team. From wiki: "In the 2004 playoffs, Beltrán tied Barry Bonds' single post-season record with eight home runs. He hit one in each of the first four games of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the St. Louis Cardinals, including the game-winner in Game 4. He hit two home runs in Game 5 of the previous playoff round in the National League Division Series (NLDS) against the Atlanta Braves; it was the first time Beltran or the Astros had won a postseason series and his performance was the first time that an Astro had hit two home runs in a postseason game. In total, Beltrán clubbed at least one home run in a record-setting five consecutive postseason games,[23] outnumbered only by Daniel Murphy's home runs in six consecutive postseason games in 2015.[24] In 12 games in the 2004 playoffs, Beltrán batted .435 with 14 RBIs and 21 runs scored.[25]"

Rental trades aren't really about getting equivalent value back. The psychology of it is, "We want to win right now, this other team has a player who can help us do it, these players (usually prospects) who we are giving up are far, far away from helping us win right now, so we acknowledge that we might be giving up too much on a player-to-player calculation, but the less predictable/calculable value brought back by a WS Championship or even just a deep playoff run makes up for the difference." When you make a video like this in the mindset that a rental trade that brings a playoff contender a lights out reliever is made just average or "arguably even bad" by the fact that the other team was given a future reliable starter signals that you don't quite understand how these trades work. That said, there is such a thing as a bad rental trade. If off-season moves still fit your criteria, then as a Twins fan, the Pierzynski deal comes to my mind immediately. We fleeced SF there and got one of the all time greatest relievers and a SP who at various times was a stalwart in our rotation plus one more small piece in Bonser and gave up one year of average play from Pierzynski (plus more than a year's worth of clubhouse drama) to accomplish it.
