Yankee White Sox feud over Wakefield trade dispute
The Yankees and White Sox clashed over pitcher Wakefield after a trade for Ostrowski and cash. Wakefield refused to report to the Sox unless paid an extra 5000, while both clubs claimed ownership. Wakefield favored the Red Sox, and Chandler may be asked to arbitrate. The 1947 Berardino case was cited as a precedent.
