Definitely trading adrian Gonzalez. If was our 1B in 2010-2011 I'm confident we would have ended up with at least 1 WS win. Davis wasn't too bad although he started raking once in Baltimore. He couldn't do a thing with us, and Koji helped get us back to the WS

Rays too smart for that.

Did the Angels really draft Posey and Harvey? I've never heard that before....
The others you mentioned are definitely painful. The Segura/Greinke trade is especially painful now that Aybar is looking like very subpar.

It's hard to tell how this trade will work out, but the recent David Freese/Peter Bourjos trade really grinds my gears. Even for a team with a plethora of great outfielders I think it's bad mojo to move someone like Bourjos. Talk about underrated....
Richie Sexson is definitely up there for the worst. Trading Carlos Gonzalez and 5 other people for Haren would have been fine, had the D-backs won anything and Webb's shoulder not crapped out. I'd sure love to have CarGo hitting behind Goldschmidt.
The Skaggs/Corbin trade was nice for us, until Corbin lost his elbow and we decided to hand Skaggs back to the Angels (though Trumbo's been solid this season). Didn't like losing Eaton in this deal either. Also shipping David Holmberg just to rid ourselves of the Heath Bell contract. we could really use the pitching depth now.
Another runner up, Max Scherzer for Ian Kennedy/Edwin Jackson. Was a pretty good deal for a while, until Kennedy flamed out. Scherzer ain't no hack these days.

Well, lets play fair, Buster Posey was a 50th round draft pick, both sides knew he wouldn't sign. The only reason you take him there is that you then have a leg up to build a relationship with the kid in hopes you might grab him 3 years later. Harvey truly is one that go away, as a 3rd rounder, they truly thought they could get him singed.
Johan Santana for Carlos Gomez, Phil Humbar, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey
Gomez is a superstar now, but he sucked for the Twins who traded him for JJ Hardy(who turned around and sent him to the Orioles where he became a power hitting SS.) What makes it really hurt is that they could have got Jon Lester as the jewel of a package.

The Santana trade was pretty bad as a Twins fan, but it could have been worse had Santana not gotten injured so quickly. There are 3 recent trades that come to mind.
Carlos Gomez for J.J. Hardy - Only kept Hardy for 1 year, and Gomez has developed in Milwaukee
J.J. Hardy for Jim Hoey - Hardy battled injuries in his 1 season with the Twins, then gave up on him because of the Nishioka signing ::facepalm::
Wilson Ramos for Matt Capps - Ramos has had a difficult time staying healthy, but when he plays he is a good offensive catcher, Capps was horrendous with the Twins

Garza for delmon young and company still eats at me
Young was traded by Tampa Bay to Minnesota on Wednesday night as part of a six-player deal that sent right-hander Matt Garza to the Rays.
In a swap of promising youngsters that's been discussed for weeks, the Twins also gave up starting shortstop Jason Bartlett and minor league pitcher Eduardo Morlan while acquiring shortstop Brendan Harris and minor league outfielder Jason Pridie.

Yeah, if we're playing that game then Exhibit A is Gerritt Cole leading the Yankees on until the deadline then going to college.
