1945 Offseason
A fair dose of carnage among my fellow managers, with John Donaldson (Indians), Parson Perryman (Yankees), Moxie Manuel (Browns), Kent Greenfield (Dodgers) and Bobby Schang (Braves) all out of work.
Retirements of note include Hal Schumacher, Dizzy Dean, Joe Cronin, Cookie Lavagetto, Lonny Frey, Cy Blanton, Bill Dickey (who gets his #8 retired by the Yanks, as IRL), Mel Harder and Ed Brandt, along with a couple others I’ll give separate billing to.
We non-tender Wally Judnich and send pitchers Phil Marchildon and Red Lynn to arbitration. Ray Dandridge is allowed to walk. With just $450k from the boss for next year we’re gonna need to watch every penny.
