Dodgers acquire slugger Richie Allen in deal with Cardinals
Richie Allen was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Ted Sizemore and rookie Bob Stinson. Cards GM Bing Devine cited changing team needs at shortstop and second base as Allen had provided power with 34 homers and 101 RBIs in 122 games despite a leg injury. Sizemore hit .306 in 96 games for the Dodgers, while Stinson, 25, can play outfield and catcher and was hampered by a hamstring injury earlier in the year.
