Re: The 1978 Boston Red Sox & Beyond

With the trade deadline drawing near, I talked with the Kansas City Royals about the availability of starting pitcher Andy Hassler. To go along with a prospect and cash, Kansas City wants either starting pitcher Dennis Eckersley, reliever Bob Stanley or center fielder Fred Lynn.

Sorry KC, maybe next time.
