Oscar Gamble told reporters he would have accepted a spring training trade to Texas if a five year contract extension and raise had been offered. He noted his .222 average and argued a Texas deal might have improved the Yankees who were 31-34 and near the AL East cellar. He blamed lack of team support and said he felt unwanted by owner George Steinbrenner, though he remains optimistic with 97 games left.
