One thing in real life that might have led to the Cubs trading Tinker was the fact that he and double play partner Johnny Evers detested each other. Cubs management at the time might have wanted to trade away one or the other just to have some harmony in the clubhouse. However, they never would have traded Tinker to the Giants with whom they were arch-rivals and if by some chance they decided to do so they would have asked for more than a no-name catcher.

BTW, I was prepared to offer more for Tinker but since the AI accepted my proposal I figured what the hell. I think Spec Richardson might be the AI. Look up the name.
