1973-74 OFF-SEASON
I've noticed in my post-World-Series-blues that one of the biggest issues facing Texas right now is our financial situation. Despite making the big dance, we're up tight against the budget with no room to maneuver. So I've tried to kill two birds with one stone...
Big trade! The details are below. If you haven't noticed, I'm placing an emphasis on acquiring players who actually played for the Rangers. So we're picking up 35 years-young Gaylord Perry. We lose Millan, who was making too much money, Grubb who is a great bat, and Hrabosky who is a quality reliever. But we've freed up some cash.
The bonus with Perry is that he boosted fan popularity, which will help with ticket sales and therefore future finances. And he's also a great pitcher who will last another decade. Our rotation is scary good, but I'll have some holes to fill.
