The Boston Red Sox traded a player to be named later or cash (which will presumably still be called cash at the time) to the Texas Rangers for reliever Wes Littleton.
Littleton is most famous (at least to me) for picking up the cheapest save (as defined by the margin of victory) in big league history. Back on August 22, 2007, Littleton pitched the final three innings of the Rangers 30-3 win at Baltimore.
I've always felt there was something strange about the Reds and Rangers.
This post was also valuable because it made me re-read the "save" rules which always seem to get a bit hazy after a while.
Is cash still "just as good as money".
Wes Littleton's singular achievement will live forever in my memory. What baseball fan can't look at what he did - pitch 3 innings without giving up 27 runs - and think, "hell, even I could do that". Here's to you, Wes.

Norm Cash has always considered better than Don Money. (ba-dum-bum)
