We got Stokes for cash. I'm just curious why this isnt a more common practice. Or is there a limit to how much $ teams can swap? Can the Yankees include Cano in a Santana deal and then trade for Hanley Ramirez for 50+ million dollars?

Not sure what limits exist or how they calculate such limits, but there is a protocol in place that prevents that. Selig/MLB would never approve it.

I'm pretty sure anything over a million bucks needs Bud's rubber stamp, which I believe also has a Yankee NY on it...

86mets

Yup... THERE IS A LIMIT...has to be approved by commish..if > 1mil....

Fatcessa did say earlier today that is was BUMPED to 2 mil. but I 'm not sure if true..

$1.99 is a drop in the bucket...

I believe the Rays paid the Mets to take him. Is Omar really gonna put this scrub on the 40 man?

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.
