Stove League yarns tied to Roush and Hornsby trades
In a long running baseball staple, Eddy Roush of the Cincinnati Reds is repeatedly held to salary demands and winter trades to New York, often for a hoped return by John McGraw. The latest whisper links Roush to the Giants for George Kell, with questions over his $1000 raise. Also speculated are trades involving Rogers Hornsby and Frankie Frisch, as Rickey scouts and negotiates, amid lingering friction between McGraw and Frisch and other front-office tension. The saga persists as managers push for cash and pennants.
