Minor leaguer traded for 10 bats
8:06 pm —
Money and bats both come from trees. I guess that’s how one minor leaguer can look at it. John Odom was traded from one independent league team to another for the grand some of 10 bats.
Odom wasn’t too unhappy. Ten bats is actually two bats and 450 toothpicks more than his contract is worth. He’s looking to sign a new extension for a lofty four barrels of saw dust over the next two tree rings.
