OXON HILL, Md. (AP) – A hundred dollars can still go a long way in baseball.

This week, the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers made a trade involving two big leaguers, two minor leaguers and a player to be named later or cash.

The amount? Yep, $100.

Less than daily meal money for guys in the bigs last season. Far less than the price of a box seat at many ballparks.

In a multibillion-dollar sport where $100 million contracts are becoming common, it looked like a misprint. Instead, it was right on the money.
