San Diego Sends Dukes to St. Louis
The San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals have put the finishing touches on a deal that was weeks in the making. San Diego will part with 27-year old RHP Tom Dukes, while the Cardinals have dealt 23-year old minor league CF Bill Stein, 22-year old minor league RF Leron Lee, and 21-year old minor league 2B Ed Crosby.
"This one took a while to figure out," said San Diego general manager <Chris Giblin:coach#158>. "We must have gone back to the drawing board five or six times over the past few weeks. I'm glad we finally got the deal done. I think it is a good one for both clubs."
Taking a look at his season stats for 1970, Dukes has made 34 relief appearances, recorded 6 saves and compiled a 3-4 won-lost mark with a 4.44 ERA. In pitching 52.2 innings, he has totaled 39 strikeouts and 15 walks.
San Diego, St. Louis in Talks
Rumors abound regarding an imminent trade between the San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals. For the moment, though, negotiations have hit a rough patch, according to one source, due to reservations on San Diego's part. Still, both sides appear committed to working toward an agreement.
San Diego sits in 5th place in the National League West Division with a 28-56 record. St. Louis is 4th in the National League East Division with a 43-39 record.
