Baseball teams wheel, deal
Q The Expos make two
trades as teams scramble
to fill their rosters.
The great fire sale began in
Montreal and spread to Kansas
City as financially strapped
baseball teams began to unload
high-priced talent they can no
longer afford.
The Expos, hoping to get
their payroll down, traded
bullpen stopper John Wetteland
to the New York Yankees on
Wednesday and then dealt staff
ace Ken Hill to the St. Louis
Cardinals. The Royals sent out
fielder Brian McRae to the
Chicago Cubs.
Meanwhile, owners and play
ers agreed to move up opening
day to April 25, a day earlier
than their original deal, with
the Florida Marlins playing host
to the Los Angeles Dodgers at
7:35 p.m. EDT.
The American League sched
ule, barring rainouts, calls for
Cal Ripken to tie Lou Gehrig’s
consecutive-games record on
Sept. 5 at home against Cali
fornia. He would break it the
following day at home against
the Angels.
Friday should be a busy day
in baseball. It is the date both to
tender contracts to arbitration-
eligible players and the date for
each team to offer arbitration to
its former players who became
free agents last fall. If a free
agent isn’t offered arbitration,
he can’t resign with his old club
until May 15.
And Friday also is the dead
line for players — except non-
U.S. citizens — to report to
spring training.
Montreal general manger
Kevin Malone said the Expos
— whose 74-40 record was
baseball’s best last season-
said the team is not giving up,
but is regrouping.
“This is not a fire sale,” k
said. “A fire sale is when you’re
giving guys away.”
Still, the movement of players
Wednesday and what is expect
ed later in the week should be
typical of the direction in which
baseball is headed. The players
agreed to return after a federal
judge issued an injunction forc
ing owners to maintain the sys
tem of the expired collective bar
gaining agreement.
With the owners unable to
get a salary cap and do away
with salary arbitration, the
small-market teams cannot af
ford high-salaried players.
“The economics of the current
system is the reason we’re mak
ing the changes,” Malone admit
ted. “These deals are financially
motivated.”
Expos management has
claimed it will lose $20 million be
cause of the strike and is trying
to pare its payroll to about $12
million — a drop of $6 million.
Wetteland had 25 saves in 52
appearances for the Expos in
1994 and is considered among
the top closers in the game.
In return, the Expos got
Fernando Seguignol, a 20-year-
old outfielder and a player to
be named later. Hill, 28, fin
ished second in the National
League Cy Young Award voting
last season. He was 16-5 with a
3.32 ERA.
