Trivia question hypothetical for you

So IF this offseason Bloom trades Contreras, Donovan, and Arenado
, 3 of the 4 starting infielders will leave via trade
in your memory, has any team traded 3/4 of their starting infield starters in one year ?
Note: only consider where all were gone thru trades, not leaving via retirement, free agency , or released.

Just a guess without looking it up. Hernandez, Herr and Okerkfell?

3/4 No
But
Didn't the A's deal M. Chapman & M. Olson the same year?

AZ traded their starting 3b and 1b in July - both to Seattle.
And they are working hard to trade 2b Marte.
So they just might trade 3/4 of their infield in a 5 month period.
How wild would it be if Marte is dealt to Seattle as well?
That would be a first.

Not exactly what the OP is asking for, but:
2013 Cards WS team from 1B to 3B: Craig, Carp, Kozma, Freese.
2014: Adams, Ellis/Wong, Peralta, Carp (Craig was traded near the deadline, but Adams was the primary 1B most of the season)
I think that's a pretty good example, and coming from a pennant-winning team...

Didn't the 64 Cards unload after winning the WS. I was young but I remember Bill White moving, Ken Boyer and maybe Dick Groat.

Yes, those three were all traded after the '65 season. White and Groat were traded to Philly, and Boyer to the Mets.

I don’t know that they all moved same year. I do know that by 67 cepeda was at first and Maxie at short. Third was an internal fix with Shannon I believe.

The only one I can come up with is 1899 to 1900
1899 Cardinals
1B Patsy Tebeau
2B Cupid Childs
3B Lave Cross
1900 Cardinals
1B Dan McGann
2B Bill Keister
3B John McGraw
I wasn't around back then. Maybe OldRed can shed some light on it.
