We came close but came up short. A very realistic 1980s Yankees outcome unfortunately.


Then...over the winter, we were made offers we couldn't turn down. Boston offered Wade Boggs for Butch Wynegar. I have trade up two notches from the default in difficulty, but they offered.

I thought that the offer was so lopsided that I added Terry Pendleton 3B to the trade but I took it. Maybe I shouldn't have. Not realistic really, but then again Boston let Boggs, Clemens and Fisk all leave so who knows?

Which leads me to the other big trade: We got Fisk for RP George Frazier who has some good seasons coming up.

So with Fisk and Boggs, and 2nd year pitcher Jimmy Key ready for the rotation, joining Guidry, Seaver - in what should be his last useful season, coming off a good year for us in '84, Bob Knepper and Bob Shirley, we hope we have enough to get over the top for 1985.
