I realise that I still have a couple trade tickets left and so I shop Gibbon and Geiger around, with my first stop being the Cubbies. After a quick to-and-fro the following deal is consummated.
Lucky I did, then. We'd been at the Cubs all through last year for Pags but they wouldn't bite. Of course, I never threw this haul at them. We'd retained Purkey only for depth and I think we can probably do something with the $40k that goes with him. All's well that ends well, as we have our everyday Catcher sorted out for the foreseeable future on a pretty friendly deal out thru 1965.
