New Oakland Athletics DH Billy Butler really wanted his #16 back. The problem is, Josh Reddick already has that number. Like we often see in situations like this, trades happen so the player can get his number back. All it took for Butler to get his #16? A new winch for Reddick.
Hey @BillyButlerOAK thanks for the winch! Fair trade for a number I believe! pic.twitter.com/8FbrrrcGWB

Now, this isn’t just any winch – this is an $1,100 winch. But hey, Butler can afford it, considering he just inked a three-year, $30 million deal with the Athletics. I’m a little shocked it didn’t cost more for him to get the number, though – we’ve seen some ridiculous value get moved for a uniform number.
