OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The Bucs Start Here - A Pirates Do-Over

luckymann · 08-29-2022, 08:43 AM

The biggest news by far over the offseason is the Tigers - having earlier offloaded OF John Stone to the White Sox - trading Hammerin' Hank Greenberg to the Phillies. They later spend all that freed-up cash on easily the biggest contract of the break, and one of the largest in MLB history. Two long-term Cardinals are shipped out as well, with Ducky Medwick headed to our joint and Dizzy Dean off to the White Sox.

We also see an all-too-rare splash from the Tribe and some other very interesting moves indeed.

Here are the highlights:

C Billy Sullivan jr: Tigers, 7 years / $271600
P Bill Byrd: Indians, 5 years / $164000
P Larry French: Braves, 3 years / $141800
OF Ival Goodman: Phillies, 5 years / $138000
P Ray Brown: Yankees, 4 years / $136000
2B Willie Wells: Senators, 3 years / $100200
P Jim Willis: Indians, 3 years / $79200
P Chet Brewer: Dodgers, 3 years / $77400
P Ed Brandt: Giants, 3 years / $71400

OF Hank Greenberg from Tigers to Phillies for P Bill Sayles and OF Harry Walker
OF John Stone and SS Frank Trechock from Tigers to White Sox for 3B Lee Handley
OF Joe Medwick from Cardinals to Pirates for SS Sherry Robertson and 2B Hal Marnie
C Ken Silvestri from White Sox to Cardinals for P Dizzy Dean
2B Bama Rowell from Yankees to Cubs for P Willie Cornelius
3B Steve Mesner, C Al Evans, P Johnny Gee and P Mike Naymick from Red Sox to Phillies for 1B Zeke Bonura
3B Merrill May from Browns to Reds for P Cy Blanton and 3B Sibby Sisti
P Tot Presnell from Giants to Pirates for P Jim Bagby, C Dick West and P Bill Clemensen
P Jack Kramer and OF Mike McCormick from Phillies to Giants for 2B Buddy Myer
C Don Padgett from Pirates to Red Sox for P Jim Turner and OF Charlie Gilbert

ALL TRANSACTIONS

The Bucs go 11-7 in S/T and get through with no injuries.

The pundits are predicting pretty decisive repeats for Pittsburgh and the Yanks. No 400 season on the cards for Teddy B according to them, not sure about Joe's hit streak - you, like I, will just have to wait and see!
