Boss tolerates Winfield as long as he produces
Murray Chass reports that Yankee owner George Steinbrenner will not trade Dave Winfield without his consent, a 10 and 5 man. Winfield has driven in 100 plus runs for four straight seasons, scored 100 plus runs in two straight seasons, and matched a Joe DiMaggio style double 100. A heated Sept. 24 confrontation over drug testing strained their relationship, but Steinbrenner has since sought calm, believing Winfield’s production could improve with softer remarks.

Carter Brooks trade works for both clubs
The Mets sent four players to Montreal for Gary Carter. Hubie Brooks drove in 100 RBIs the same season, the first NL shortstop to reach that since Ernie Banks in 1960, as Montreal beat New York 2 to 1. The Mets drew a New York City record 2,751,437 fans.
