Perry trade proposed by Sunday to Rangers or Royals
The Plain Dealer reports Cleveland Indians pitcher Gaylord Perry will be traded by Sunday to either the Texas Rangers or Kansas City Royals. The Royals allegedly bid over 100,000 dollars plus two pitchers, including Doug Bird, while Texas also proposed pitchers Jim Bibby and Jackie Brown plus minor leaguers and cash. The cash factor matters due to a 500,000 payment on a 5.5 million loan from Cleveland banks.
