There's 3 that immediately come to mind for the Braves.
1. Trading Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Jarrod Saltalamacchia for what was basically two half season rentals of Mark Teixeira and a rental of Ron Mahay. Andrus, Feliz and Harrison could have been a big help going forwards.
2. Trading Adam Wainwright, Jason Marquis and Ray King for one season of JD Drew and Eli Marrero. JD Drew had a great season his one season in Atlanta, but we traded away who would have been our ace for years to come to get him.
3. Trading Alex Wood and Jose Peraza(along with some below average relievers) for Hector Olivera. Traded away one of our best starting pitchers and one of our top ranked prospects(at the time) for a 30+ year old Cuban "prospect" that didn't even make it a month on the Braves active roster before getting arrested for domestic violence and never playing again.
