July 20th, 1975 we have a pretty big trade between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the California Angels. The Angels acquire Don Sutton from the Dodgers in exchange for 24 year old LF Bruce Bochte, 19 year old C Butch Wynegar, 19 year old CF Larry Rush and 23 year old LF John Doherty.
The Angels trail the Oakland A's by 4 games in the AL West. This trade gives them a rather impressive rotation of Andy Messersmith(8-7, 2.58), Nolan Ryan(11-6, 3.33), Don Sutton(8-8, 3.45), Frank Tanana(12-3, 3.03) and Andy Hassler(11-2, 3.26) I guess the question now is whether the Angels can overcome their gas can of a Closer Tom Murphy.
