Yankees Sell Three Fatten Budget Over $50,000

The New York Yankees traded veteran Ewell Blackwell, reliefer Tom Gorman, and first baseman Dick Kryhoski to the Kansas City Athletics for cash exceeding $50,000. Blackwell, 32, had been a key right handed pitcher with past arm troubles but was placed back on active list. Kryhoski, 30, known for his hitting, had spent years with Milwaukee and Brooklyn. The swap follows a flurry of spring games as Philadelphia Phillies and other clubs wrap up Arizona spring play. The Yankees also played a 10 10 tie in Florida, while the Dodgers beat the Giants 2-0 in another spring contest.
