In 1922, prior to the Groh trade, a minor leaguer named Jimmy O'Connell was purchased by the NY Giants fron the San Francisco Seals for $75,000 . In May of the same year, the Groh trade surpassed that one. At the end of the 1924 season and the Giants battling the Dodgers for the pennant, O'Connell offered Heinie Sand a $500 bribe to throw the game. Sand refused and reported the incident to his manager who in turn notified the league. O'Connell was subsequently suspended from baseball for life.
