Answer 7

I'm not sure about the record but you do know Recchi wasn't traded to all of those teams. He SIGNED with some. He was placed on waivers and got claimed by Atlanta and he was just SIGNED by Tampa. Plus he wasn't traded to Pittsburgh all of those times....he signed. Just pointing that out......didn't know if you were including signings or what.
