Padres’ Mike Clevinger comically swapped a ball for a beer with a fan in pregame warmups

Mike Clevinger clearly came away the winner of this Monday afternoon trade.

Ahead of the San Diego Padres’ bout against the Miami Marlins, the visitors took to the field for pregame warmups. Though Clevinger wasn’t set to start for the Padres, the righty was out on the field taking warmups as usual with the rest of his teammates.

Before heading back into the locker room, however, Clevinger stopped to make a trade with one of the fans in the outfield. The exchange in question? A baseball for a can of beer! After Clevinger handed over the ball to the fan, he then received his can of beer, which he tucked into his back pocket for safe keeping.

You have to respect that kind of hustle from both sides, honestly. And here’s the lucky fan who traded his can of beer for a baseball and some hilarious memories.

All in a days work right there!
