They sold him for $125,000 dollars and received 86 years of heart ache in return. Not a bad deal for the Yankees. Looks like JB and John copied their answer from the same book. Brilliant!

The sale
In the early part of 1920, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee agreed to sell Babe to the New York Yankees. Frazee and Jacob Ruppert, Yankee owner, agreed to exchange Ruth for $125,000 and a loan of more than $300,000. The deal was completed on January 3, 1920.
Babe Ruth wasn't traded, he was sold like a pig!

He was sold to the Yankees by the Red Sox owner, who then used the money to fund a musical show named No No Nanette.

A lot of grief and tormenting from Yankee fans, oh and the chance to see the bambino start the biggest dynasty in sports by helping the bronx bombers to win some of the 26 world titles.

He was exchanged for 125k and a 300k loan. The money was used to fund a play. I'd say the deal was worth it for the Yankees.

JB and John gave you the correct answer. The other answers are wrong (and, in some cases, ridiculous)
