Cubs general manager Dallas Green wanted a young prospect to go along with the aging Bowa (as it turned out, Bowa’s playing career ended after the 1985 season). Green had been instrumental in the drafting of Sandberg in 1978, while working in the Phillies front office. The two remained close over the years. Years later, Phillies general manager Paul Owens said that he hadn’t wanted to trade Sandberg, but Green and the Cubs weren’t interested in any of the other prospects he offered, so he had gone back to his scouts, who said Sandberg wouldn’t be any more than a utility infielder. However, Sandberg had hit over .290 in the minors two years in a row. The trade is now considered one of the best (if not the best) in recent Cubs history. At the same time, it is considered one of the worst trades in Phillies, if not MLB history; DeJesus, despite helping anchor the Phillies infield on their way to the 1983 World Series, lasted only three years in Philadelphia, and was out of baseball by 1988.
