Trade: SF Giants acquire Roger Maris and Jim Bouton in return for Orlando Cepeda. As Commissioner, I intervened to work this deal, after playing the Giants. They played Cepeda at 1B and McCovey in LF. They have a surplus of sluggers and 1B in particular. Jim Ray Hart is set to debut. This gives them a proven SP and an underrated (at this point in his career) RF. No idea why the Yankees parted with Bouton so easily. We know he was something of a head case who would have sore arm issues, but he is coming off a dominant season. Cepeda is a superstar, but I might have done the deal just for Maris. We'll see.
