Transactions
Traded 3B SS Joe Foy age 27 2.5 at each position for CF Jay Johnsstone age 24 2.5. Retained 25% on Foy and Twins have 40% of his $320k annual for the next two years so SD gets a decent left side IF for $112k per year.
Traded SP Mike Paul age 25 2.0/2.5 for RF Dan Ford age 18 2.0/3.0, C Robert Williams age 22 2.0/2.0, RF Gary Funtas age 24 1.5/1.5. Paul has a MLB minimum wage contract and is taking up a spot on the 40 man but I can't see him making the majors with us. None of those received in trade have MLB experience.
Signings on Oct 24 1970: CF Jay Johnstone age 24 2.5 $195k/3 years, SP Bob Moose age 23 3.5 $1.33m/6 years last year is team option, SS Freddie Patek age 26 2.5 $225k/3 years. LF Vic Davilillo age 34 2.5 signed a minor league contract. Rule 5 eligible and not on 40 man. Would need several injures to need him in the bigs.
Signings on Oct 25 1970: C Manny Saguillen age 26 3.5 $880k/5 years. C Don Pavletich age 32 2.5 signed a minor league deal. There's our third catcher although once called up he can't be sent back down without clearing waivrs. Also he's Rule 5 eligible and I haven't put him on the 40 man.
4.5 star FAs are LF Rico Carty age 31 and SP Sandy Koufax age 34. No 4.0 star FAs. 3.5 star FAs are 1B Mike Epstein age 27, SP Gaylord Perry age 32, and LF Frank Robinson age 35.
OF Curt Flood exercises right under 5/10 rule.
Rule 5 Draft. Must have a good organizatin. Lost four players. SP Ronald Kent age 29 2.0 AAA, CF Ron Woods age 27 2.5 AAA, LF Vic Davalillo age 34 2.5 AAA, and 2B Darrell GIbson age 28 2.0 AAA.
Ron Woods, Vic Davalillo.
