Trade rumors swirl as Foxx and Dean could move this season
Baseball chatter says Jimmy Foxx and Dizzy Dean may be sold today with Boston offering $100,000 plus Babe Dahlgren for Foxx and Brooklyn asking $75,000 for Dean. Connie Mack might deal Foxx due to poor team drawing while the Cardinals seek Deans. Western league talks in Des Moines address Omaha and Rock Island finances amid long debts. The American league pennant race tightens with Detroit fading in and Cleveland and Chicago close behind, while Al Simmons, a famed bat, contributes modestly to a White Sox surge.
