The newbies from the Lone Star State make what is from memory a record splash in an otherwise relatively quiet FA market (although the Davis deal has an even higher AAV) , with the Yanks, Red Sox and Cards also throwing around plenty of dollars. Rusty Staub is headed to the Mets, while Mickey Mantle is indeed back for a tilt at 600 career HR.

OF Bobby Murcer: Rangers, 8 years / $5134000
OF Willie Davis: Red Sox, 6 years / $4080000
OF Ken Berry: Cardinals, 6 years / $3652000
OF Rusty Staub: Mets, 4 years / $2224000
P Jerry Koosman: Yankees, 6 years / $2100000
OF Rico Carty: Cubs, 5 years / $1910000
P Roger Nelson: Yankees, 5 years / $1810000
OF Jim Hickman: White Sox, 4 years / $1208000
1B Mickey Mantle: Cardinals, 3 years / $1116000
2B Ted Sizemore: Red Sox, 4 years / $841000 (extension)
1B George Scott: Twins, 3 years / $730000

OF Don Buford and OF Mike Jorgensen from Twins to Cardinals for P Ray Sadecki and P Dick Baney
OF Ron Woods from Giants to Royals for P Paul Edmonson, SS Marty Perez and OF Leron Lee
1B Frank Howard (retaining 75%) from Dodgers to Indians for OF Carl Taylor
P Wilbur Wood from White Sox to A’s for SS Gil Garrido and OF Oscar Gamble
OF William Butts and P Rich Hand from Yankees to Expos for OF Vada Pinson
OF Angel Mangual and OF Elliott Maddox from A’s to Orioles for P Jim Kaat
OF Joe Lahoud, P Milt Wilcox and cash from White Sox to Indians for P Sam McDowell
3B Don Money, P Ken Reynolds and P Bob Reynolds from Cardinals to A’s for P Rick Wise (retaining 10%)
P Dick Rustek and P Charlie Hough from Rangers to Red Sox for 1B Earl Williams and P John Gaylord
P Miguel Fuentes and 1B Chris Chambliss from Orioles to Padres for P Bill Parsons
3B Curt Blefary and P Jim Slaton from Reds to Padres for P Ken Forsch and 3B Steve Braun

We go 10-8 in ST with only a couple minor niggles to come from it.

ALL TRANSACTIONS

As was the case last year, the BNN crew is seeing repeats in all but the NL West, where they fancy the Reds. I’m shocked that they think we’ll win the NL East by 15 games. I guess we’ll know soon enough if they are on the money.
