Athletics Trade Binks for Coleman in Browns Swap
The Philadelphia Athletics exchanged outfielder George Binks and $20,000 to the St. Louis Browns for Ray Coleman. Coleman will report and play right field in the upcoming doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians, while Don White moves to center and Sam Chapman rests. Coleman is a left spari man batting .179, and Binks hit .079 this season after a .253 figure last year. Mack hopes the trade adds clutch punch to a hurt-outfield situation caused by Elmer Valo's injury.
