On behalf of your New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, I hereby offer the Toronto Blue Jays Carlos Delgado for David Cooper. We will assume two-thirds of Delgado’s salary for this contract, and 15% of any other contract you decide to offer him EVER.
Movers are standing by at Mr. Delgado’s house.
Please respond ASAP.
On behalf of the Toronto Blue Jays Professional Baseball Club, I humbly reject your generous offer, and propose a counteroffer; Cooper for Jose Reyes, straight up.
Which leads to the inevitable irresistable counter-offer: Pedro Martinez for Roy Halladay and a first-base coach to be named later.
Hey, Cito Gaston’s got his first win! Happy Days are back again in Toronto!!
