How Would You Like To Be Traded For A Dozen Staplers?

A minor leaguer was traded today for 10 bats. No joke. John Odom was traded for 10 $69 maple baseball bats. Cash was offered but was considered an insult. And bats weren't? I swear I'm not making this up. Odom was signed to a team in the USA a month ago but couldn't get in the USA due to immigration problems. So his team traded him to Canada for some good wood.
