Cepeda Traded to Cardinals Slated as First Baseman
Orlando Cepeda the Giants slugger is traded to the St Louis Cardinals for pitcher Ray Sadecki. He is expected to start at first base in the Cardinals game against the Chicago Cubs, with weather delaying the opener. Giants owner Horace Stoneham and manager Herman Franks say the move makes sense to add a top left handed starter and address first base redundancy with Willie McCovey. Red Schoendienst, Cardinal manager, welcomes the trade and predicts strong impact for the team.
