National League Adopts Liberal Plan For New Teams
The National League approved a sliding scale talent plan to stock the New York Mets and Houston Colts, matching major league payrolls with premium picks up to 125000 dollars each. New York and Houston pay primarily 73000 dollars per player, with options for 30000 purchases, yielding four 125000-dollar premiums per club. The plan also allocates 17 players from early rosters, with total club expenditures between 1.7 and 2.1 million dollars, and requires 52 players to be chosen by the newcomers at 75000 dollars each, plus premium selections from established clubs. Warren Giles hailed the plan as more liberal than the American League’s.
