Jon Matlack.
Dude received no run support. 3.18 career ERA, with a won-lost record under .500.
Jack McDowell.
In the 1990's, he threw more complete games than most teams. That probably shortened his career.
Roger Freed.
Freed was a three-time MVP; 1970 in the International League, 1976 in the American Association, and when I played the 1978 edition of Strat-O-Matic baseball, with his 1977 numbers in 95 at bats projected over a full season. I think that he's the only player to have been named MVP in two different AAA leagues, but there might be another.
Ken Holtzman.
Holtzman holds the Major League record for most career wins by a Jewish pitcher.
Josh Thole.
2 HRs, 24 RBI's, .200 Ave and .522 OPS in four seasons for the Blue Jays, catching for R A Dickey.
Brett Lawrie.
Lawrie posted decent numbers for an infielder when he wasn't on the disabled list. I think it's no coincidence that his Major League career ended right around the time he was starting to receive big pay bumps. He played the game with way too much reckless abandon for team accountants.
Stan Bahnsen.
Bahnsen and Wilbur Wood were both 20 game winners for the Chicago White Sox in 1972, and both were 20 game losers for the team in 1973. If that's ever happened before in the Majors, it was in a season when all of the stadiums were made out of wood.

The first answer is correct.
The second answer is incorrect, but it may be due to how I worded the qusetion. The two players traded for each other were 100+ point scorers in the last full NHL season that preceeded the trade. Foe ezample, Huberdeau and Tkachuk were traded for each other in July 2022. Both were 100+ point scorers in the full 2021-22 season. I hope that clarifies things.
I have edited the original question.
