Cujo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Romanian club exchanges defender for large lump of meatRomanian second division soccer club UT Arad sold a player in exchange for 15 kilograms of meat, local sport daily Pro Sport reported on Monday. However, fourth division Regal Horia made a bad deal because defender Marius Cioara decided to end his footballing career and take off to Spain to find a job in agriculture or construction.So instead of packing up and leaving town for a truckload of meat, soccer dude just retires. What a stellar way to go out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brinkeguthrie Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This reminds me - didn't Tim Fortugno once get traded for a sack of baseballs? Michaels is not the first broadcaster to be traded. Long-time former Detroit Tigers baseball announcer Ernie Harwell enjoyed bragging that he was the first sportscaster to be traded for a player, a minor league catcher, but claimed to have heard of more bizarre deals -- a player exchanged for a Thanksgiving turkey, for example.Other unusual trades in sports lore have included a player dealt for 12 dozen baseballs and $2,500 -- Tim Fortugno -- and one who was traded for himself -- Harry Chiti.

HatCityEnforcer Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Can't blame the guy for hanging em up after a deal like that...It's one thing if you get traded for another player or some financial considerations and the like...But getting traded for a 15 kg slab of meat? Yah, if that's not a hint that maybe it's time to find a new line of work, I dunno what is...it'd be kinda embarrasing getting traded for a choice cut of sirloin. FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U.

no97 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 What about Dickie Noles? The Cubs traded him to the Tigets back in 1987 for "a player to be named later," and that player ended up to be none other than Noles himself...See the transactions part of this page...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
