White Sox trade Michaels for Kozar and Robinson
New York, May 31. The White Sox completed a big deal with the Washington Senators, sending Cass Michaels, Bob Kuzava and Johnny Ostrowski to Washington in exchange for second baseman Al Kozar and first baseman Ed Robinson. Michaels was a key figure in the deal, while Robinson and Rey Scarborough fill needs at first base and on the mound. The Sox may use Nelson Fox against right-handed pitching and hope Kozar adds defensive strength at second as the team pivots to face the Yankees on the eastern swing.
