A trade between the
New York teams this morning that has
Barry McCormick moving over to the
Giants in exchange for
Jack Taylor taking up new residence with the
Highlanders. While
Taylor wasn't used much the last few seasons, he still has decent ratings relative to the league and should provide back of the rotation support.
