The Sporting News card does not indicate whether there was a trade or money involved in that September transaction, and I couldn't find any newspaper report on the deal to amplify on the details.
Shaffer's Sporting News card shows him moving from Iowa to Denver in December of 1974.

By the way, what is the relevance of your question to the major league photo thread? |
Thanks for your answer. Technically, there isn't any relevance, but I know you guys know your players because of the photos & I know you guys know your baseball and there are a lot of these players on here that have a long minor league career. To add to your answer, I know some players are lent to other MiLB teams for a short-term basis and especially before the newer teams like the Brewers & Padres could establish all 3 levels of minor league play. You guys on this part of the OOTP community area are VERY knowledgeable & me coming to you guys is actually a compliment to each of your wisdom of the game.
Thanks again!
