I received a trade proposal from the St.Louis Cardinals. They are offering 35-year old first baseman Bill White and in return they are asking for 26-year old center fielder Tommie Agee. I decided to reject the trade.

I also received a message from the owner. The owner expects us to play .500 ball this season. Considering that we finished 9th last season, that might be a tall order but we'll try.
