[2] The Philadelphia Phillies traded Smith to the Atlanta Braves, along with Ozzie Virgil, Jr., for Steve Bedrosian and Milt Thompson.

On a recent radio show, former Brave Mark Lemke said he thought Smith's down year could be attributed to injuries the pitcher hid from the team and media.

He played with the Cincinnati Reds for only half of the 1995 season before being released on June 27, signing with the Florida Marlins on July 1.

After spending the rest of 1995 in the minors, Smith became a free agent again, signing with the San Diego Padres on December 23.

[5] On June 9, 1998, Smith was traded to the Baltimore Orioles organization for minor leaguer Eric Estes.
