Indians trade Dade for Hargrove in surprise deal

Cleveland sends Paul Dade to San Diego in exchange for Mike Hargrove. Harrah lauds Hargrove as a versatile asset who can hit for power and get on base, while Hargrove hopes for a fresh start in Cleveland after a poor showing with the Padres. Padres manager Roger Craig notes Dade’s speed and flexibility as a valuable addition. Hargrove, 29, was rookie of the year in 1974 and had a .251 season with seven homers before the trade.
