Trade deadline came and went. Forced by my Demanding and Meddling owner, I went to each team to try to find a power hitter and an upgrade at RF. I hadn't really explored or exploited the trade mechanism in OOTP16.

Remarkably, the Yankees were willing to part with Roger Maris! Even more remarkably, Detroit was willing to part with Al Kaline! Detroit was in the middle of a race for the penant, only 1/2 game out of first. Detroit wanted a package that included Bob Miller, one of my RHPs. So I quickly pulled the trigger on the deal, satisfying two of my owner's goals in one very strange trade.

Kaline, aka Mr. Tiger, hit a homerun in his first two games as a Met.

So very strange. The '62 Mets, on August 2, achieved their 40th win. It's new territory for them - and poor Al Kaline - from here on out.
