Wow, bizarre trade nearing the 59 deadline. Birmingham(44-51,5th place) trades Justin Verlander(27) to the Biloxi Cardinals (38-55, 5th place) for 3B Jim Ray Hart(20) and 2B David Newhan(24), Verlander finished 1958 19-12, second in the Cy Young race. As of July 26th 1959, Verlander is 7-8, 2.51. Verlander has one more season before he becomes a free agent, so it will be interesting to see if Biloxi gets him to sign an extension. Even with Aaron, Biloxi has been a bottom feeder for some time.
