Traded Beckwith to Philadelphia. Sent along 1B/LF Chito Martinez. The 19 year old was hitting .317 in Fort Myers, but the reality is that his poor defense makes him a better fit as a Designated Hitter.
In return, I pick up 19 y/o LHP prospect Wally Ritchie. He's pitched 7 innings in A-ball and not given up a run.
The prime return is Al Holland. 0-2 with a 3.55 ERA. He saved 54 games in 83 and 84. He wants to close, but won't supplant Quisenberry.
And the best part of the trade:
