Star players as managers guard prestige in trades
Star players who serve as managers resist deals that might shift prestige. Howard Ehmke stayed with the Red Sox after Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb debated trading him in 1919. Speaker hoped to boost Cleveland's pennant hopes, Cobb worried Ehmke would outperform under Speaker and kept him as excess baggage. The result: Cleveland failed to win the pennant in 1921 and Morton lost form shortly after.
