Bo Apparently Offered in Trade

Did the Raiders try to trade Bo Jackson?

Al Davis tossed Jackson’s name out to Tom Braatz, Green Bay Packer personnel director, in July, as a possibility in a trade for rookie tackle Tony Mandarich, according to a source.

Braatz is said to have taken it seriously, and to have asked for a night to think it over.

However, that just happened to be the night Jackson played in the baseball All-Star game at Anaheim, led off with a home run, had another hit, a stolen base and made a running catch en route to being named the game’s most valuable player. Braatz said Monday from Green Bay that he couldn’t identify any players who might have come up in any talks.
