The Pittsburgh Pirates moved two veteran pitchers Kirby Higbe and Bob Muncrief to NL clubs for two players and cash. Higbe went to the Giants for infielder Bobby Rhawn and pitcher Ray Poat, while Muncrief sold to the Cubs for $10,000. President Frank McKinney said Marv Rackley was sold by Branch Rickey with a sore arm, and he planned to protest to Commissioner A B Chandler.
