Roy Howell thriving after trade to Blue Jays in 1976
Baseball trades are a fact of life. Roy Howell says his move from the Texas Rangers to the Toronto Blue Jays was a good trade backed by strong results. After a rough Rangers stint and a position shuffle, Howell found immediate success in Toronto with a 15 game hitting streak and a game winning homer against his former team. Toronto manager Roy Hartsfield and GM Peter Bavasi expressed confidence in Howell's defense and role as a veteran presence with third base duties.
