Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Reds acquired from the White Sox minor league C Corky Miller in exchange for minor league OF NorrisHopper...Miller this season appeared in 14g for the White Sox and 4g for Class AAA Charlotte...he will report to ClassAAA Louisville...Hopper has spent the entire season with Louisville.

A team actually traded FOR Corky Miller
I mean, it's the Reds, but still, they traded for Corky, our former hapless backup catcher.

Corky has already been in the Reds organization

He played for the AA Lookouts here in Chattanooga for years.

He’s a fun guy to have a beer with. Too bad he can’t hit.

Yeah

and they let David Ross go, when we signed him for 3M over 2 years? Thanks Reds!

It sucks

to be the the other person involved in the trade…“I was traded FOR Corky Miller…”

Ouch. But, at least Corky fetched a real human instead of a sack of balls and a few bats.

Hey, that's nothing to joke about.

There’s a dude who killed himself after that happened to him.

I remembered that dude died

I forgot that he killed himself.

It was a quick descent...

He left the new team without warning three weeks after the trade, and three weeks after that, he had ODed.
