Lefty Grove Headed to Red Sox in $300,000 Deal
Connie Mack and the Philadelphia Athletics sold star pitchers Lefty Grove and Rube Walberg and infielder Max Bishop to the Boston Red Sox, with Mickey Cochrane moving to the Detroit Tigers and George Earnshaw to the Chicago White Sox. The cash outlay, cited around $300,000, closes a historic breakup of the 1929 and 1930 champions. Cochrane will manage the Tigers in 1934, joining Harold Warstler, Bob Kline, and Charlie Berry in the reshaped rosters as the league eyes a rebalanced race.
