Raschi Strengthens Cardinals Pitching for Pennant Drive
The St. Louis Cardinals bolstered their rotation by acquiring right-hander Vic Raschi from the New York Yankees, aiming to offset the loss of Wilmer Mizell and bolster a lineup that already includes Tom Alston and Alex Grammas. Analysts view the move as a signal the club could pose a serious challenge to the Dodgers and Braves, with Raschi joining Gerry Staley and Harvey Haddix. The deal, rumored at about 75 thousand dollars plus two minor leaguers, also trims Yankee salary obligations and adds a veteran starter to St Louis.
