October 20 1966 to November 13 1966
Extention of 2B Bill Mazeroski announced. Got two point on fan interest modifier.
Free agency filed. Koufax now wants 9 x $504k.
RP Moe Drabowski age 31 3.5 stars is the highest rated FA pitcher after Koufax. RP Al McBean is 2.5 and has an option year left so I can send him down if I get Drabowski.
Drabowski asking 4 x $170k. I considered offering more to drive off other teams but decided $170k is plenty, near the most I would pay, so offered his demand. He is listed as Extremely popular and my fan interest will need some help when Koufax gets away.
This is a thin FA group. 1B Norm Cash is the highest rated position player at 3.5 and there are only four rated at 3.0. After Koufax Dick Ellsworth is the highest rating SP at 2.5.
Phillies offered SP Chris Short age 29 3.5 stars for CF Curt Flood age 28 and AAA RF David Kwiatkowski. They're broke so they want me to retain 30% on Flood. I countered with Matty Alou but no go.
