Pirates trade May for Reuss as they reshape pitching staff
Pittsburgh sends reserve catcher Milt May to Houston for left-hander Jerry Reuss in a one for one swap. General Manager Joe Brown says more trades are possible as he reshapes a club that finished third after three titles. Reuss, surprised by the deal, posted a 16-13 record last season with a 3.74 ERA. May batted .269 with seven homers and 31 RBIs in 1973. Houston intends May as their No 1 catcher next season.
