Expos Unload Mr. Clendenon

Baseball trades were light during the final 48 hours before the trading deadline in the Major Leagues. The deadline was at Midnight Sunday night, and only three top flight deals and a sprinkling of trades of lesser importance marked the weekend.
In one major transaction the New York Mets obtained slugger Donn Clendenon from the Montreal Expos for minor league pitchers Steve Renko, Bill Carden, and Dave Colon and infielder Kevin Collins. In another Sunday trade, the Boston Red Sox traded disgruntled catcher Joe Azcue to the California Angels in exchange for catcher/infielder Tom Satriano. Both Clendedon and Azcue have histories as malcontents. Clendedon if you remember was involved in the Expos disputed trade for Rusty Staub last winter, refusing to report to the Houston Astros and eventually being allowed to play with the Expos. As for Azcue, he recently left the Boston club without permission because he was unhappy sitting on the bench.
In other deals, the New York Yankees parted with SS Tom Tresh in a Saturday trade, sending him to the Detroit Tigers for rookie outfielder Ron Woods. St. Louis sent pitcher Dennis Ribant to Cincinnati's farm club at Indianapolis for pitcher Aurelio Monteagudo who was assigned to the Cardinals' farm team in Tulsa. Lastly, the Montreal Expos picked up relief pitcher Dick Radatz from the Tigers for an undisclosed amount of cash.

Seattle's Barber To DL
Saddled with elbow troubles all season long, 31 year old pitcher Steve Barber has been placed on the disabled list by the Pilots. Since injuring himself in spring training, Barber has been getting constant diathermy treatments which have allowed him to play, starting in 12 games this year and accumulating a 6-5 record despite a high 4.79 ERA. Recently however the condition has worsened, forcing Steve to the DL.
