Red Sox trading minor league player Jeff Bagwell for journeyman reliever Larry Anderson in 86 is right up there with that trade

I’ll see that and raise you 3 Pirates trades in my lifetime:

Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton for Bobby Hill, Jose Hernandez, and Matt Brubeck.

Jose Bautista for Robinson Diaz.

Tyler Glasnow (your 2024 cy young), Shane Baz, and Austin Meadows for Chris Archer.

Can be treated, not cured, how successfully depends on the burden of metastasis (how much and where spread) at the time discovered and treated. The younger at diagnosis, typically the more aggressive the cancer. I believe this took out author Vince Flynn ( Mitch Rapp series) in his late 40s-very rare at this age.
