Newcombe Blames Self After Dodgers Trade
Don Newcombe blamed himself for the Dodgers' rough stretch after they traded him to the Cincinnati Redlegs Sunday night. The former MVP said the team relied too heavily on him and he could not turn losses into wins, though he remains hopeful the Dodgers will improve. He cited shoulder problems in San Francisco and noted the Coliseum’s short left field affects pitching, stressing his pain is gone though his muscle lags in recovery. After 12 years with the organization, he expressed surprise and disappointment at the move but said he is not bitter.
