Dizzy Dean is left unsigned as evidently his contract demands were too high for everyone
Hopefully he will land on a team and not retire after the season.
Baltimore traded Dutch Henry to Atlanta for Hank Greenberg. The Braves were sitting on a goldmine at 1B with Greenberg and Foxx!!
Key Draft Picks
Jeff Heath(OAK) #1
Bobby Doerr(STL) #6
Enos Slaughter(ATL) #13
Another solid offseason for the Braves as they got Slaughter in a very nice slot in the draft. Could this team be getting even stronger?
