Clearly the main focus moves to the Expansion Draft, with four new clubs - the Royals and Pilots into the AL and the Expos and Padres into the NL - joining the league. I'll cover how this goes in a separate post.
OUT & OUTS
Managers Lena Styles (Orioles), Joel Miller (Angels) and Red Marion (A's) all get the chop.
ROSTER MOVES
We void the final year of Jim Pagliaroni's contract. With Bob Miller, Don Cardwell and Dave Wickersham also being let walk, we once again have a bunch of payroll being freed up.
We non-tender pitchers Bo Belinsky and Al McBean, along with OF Ron Davis. None of these guys would make the protected list even if we did want to hang onto them, so we'll perhaps get them back as FAs on minors deals.
SIM ACCURACY
HANGIN' THEM UP
A pretty low-key retirement class this year indeed with no HoF chances among them.
