Typo?

So let me get this straight... the Mets took Tike Redman and THEY gave US money for him? Like actual American dollars? Or is this like the time Cam Bonifay traded Alex Ramirez to Japan for yen? I mean, if I was the GM of the Pirates I'd be saying things like "I'll give you $500,000 to make sure I never see Tike Redman again." I mean I complain about Dave Littlefield a lot, I'll give you that. But this seriously might be on a different level, we DFA'd Tike Redman and someone is offering us money for him? This is too good to believe.
