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.

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.
