Doesn't say much for his value does it? I mean, $650? Ouch.

From the sound of it, he's cool with the deal. He couldn't even get across the border due to his criminal record. They just decided to trade him before the matter got sorted out.

Maple bats? What will that last, 2 games? Who was behind this deal, Mike Veeck?
The better deal was when a guy from Victoria was traded for a team bus. "I didn't think much about it at the time," said the player traded, "but it was a really nice bus."
Luis Tiant was once traded in the Senior Professional Baseball League for 30,000 teddy bears. (It was Tiant's idea, he wanted the bears donated to a children's charity.)
Announcer Ernie Harwell was once traded for a player.

They used to do this all the time in the old days. Players have been traded for turkeys, lobsters, and other crazy things.

Wasn't there a soccer player in Europe who was traded for several pounds of meat? Can't seem to find that story.

Steve Blackman was traded in Little League to Soviet Russia to avoid a nuclear holocaust. Blackman then fired his coach and owners and sold the team for a kilolitre of vodka.

Okay, they just had the player on ESPN First Take:
1) He was either high or is a really really really really happy guy.
2) When asked what other weird player-for-item trade he could think of, he had the best answer ever: A bus ticket and a moon pie.
