Cubs Put Dizzy Dean On Waivers
The Chicago Cubs have asked waivers on Jerome Hannah Dizzy Dean. The veteran pitcher hopes to regain form in Texas or Oklahoma, while clubs in the National League consider waiver action. Dean joined the Cubs three years ago after P K Wrigley paid 185000 plus three players. His arm trouble has persisted with calcium in the upper muscles and later teeth extraction did not restore his fastball. Dean's salary was cut from 20000 to 10000 last winter and he has since been used as a reliever amid recent struggles.
