Deal Brings Hank Leiber Back to Giants in Cash Trade
In a tense late night swap at the minor league meetings a trade sent pitcher Bob Bowman to the Cubs and Hank Leiber to the Giants for cash and a right handed hurler. The deal, reportedly around 10 000 dollars, followed a heated argument among Giants officials and Cubs executives before finalizing in a neighboring room. Leiber, a dangerous NL slugger, previously starred for the Giants in the 1930s and had been with the Cubs after 1938. Bowman struggled last season with a 6 7 record over 78 innings.
