Veteran Pitchers Vie for 1958 Comeback with Athletics
Murray Dickson, 41, ex teammate of Musial, seeks a 1958 return with the Kansas City Athletics after being released last fall. Walker Cooper recommended the signing while Mickey Vernon, 39 and two time AL batting champ, moved on in a waiver deal from the Red Sox to the Indians. Richie Ashburn negotiated for about 27500 with Philadelphia, and Cincinnati signed lefty Joe Nuxhall. The Yankees added Art Ditmar Bobby Del Greco and more, as Washington secured contracts for several players and the Senators sold Art Schulz to Minneapolis in an undisclosed sum.
