We get what I think is the first ever $10m contract as salaries continue to zoom. Bill Buckner is no longer a Met, Jim Gantner no longer a Brewer, Gaylord Perry or Willie McCovey no longer a Giant. And welcome to the world of Free-Agency, Toronto Blue Jays!

ALL TRANSACTIONS

We go 9-9 for Spring Training and lose Kurt Bevacqua for a fortnight.

Tight races expected in all but the AL West, with BNN favouring the Phillies in our div with us not far behind. We shall see. Looks like we can expect plenty of homers this year.
