Chisox Trade Adair for Fisher in Orioles Swap
The Baltimore Orioles obtain relief ace Eddie Fisher from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for second baseman Curt Adair. The Sox also send outfielder John Riddle to Indianapolis, while Baltimore will get a minor league player to be named later. Fisher posted a 1-3 record this season with a 2.38 ERA after a 15 win relief season last year. Adair contributes a .259 average in 157 games last year with 66 RBIs. Orioles manager Hank Bauer said the swap was not due to personal friction with Adair.
