Phillies trade Corridon Coveleski for Ewing Brennan
Philadelphia President Fogel completes a major deal sending Frank Corridon and Harry Coveleski to Cincinnati in exchange for Ewing and Brennan. Ewing brings eight years in the majors and solid speed to join the Quaker staff, while Brennan, a Wichita pick up, is viewed as an experimental southpaw with 18 wins and 16 losses in the Western League. Corridon’s 11-7 mark stands as his best season, Coveleskie’s fluctuating form hints at potential if Cincinnati’s Griffith can fix his catcher’s order issue.
