Too lazy to Google, but I distinctly remember that a quarter century or more ago, a lower-division Romanian player was traded for some meat.
I totally forgot he's on the team - he's barely played much less started. He did look like a game changer early and then...
Spending 60m on a dutchie and never playing them, couldn't happen to my club...no sir. edit. added dutchie instead of "player"
Wow, that's f*cked. I had to look it up. Indeed, what you say is the truth. The article linked there also notes a Norwegian in 2000/2001 who was traded for his weight in shrimp. But it's also The Sun, so maybe none of it is real.
Charley Pride, the country singer, was once traded for a bus when he was playing Negro League baseball.
And thanks to you, today I learned about Charley Pride, and that Willie Nelson kissed him on the lips at a show in the 60s to push the issue of racial equality.
He's saving it for the WC. You know, you got to the fools the opponents into thinking you're out of form.
