Indians Trade Seerey Gettel Kennedy Probe For Benefit
Trade sending James Patrick Seerey and Allen Gettel to the Chicago White Sox for Robert Daniel Kennedy involves a mixed payoff for Cleveland. Kennedy brings infield and outfield flexibility, while Seerey’s value as a home run threat wanes after 1946. Gettel’s promise has not yet translated into Cleveland wins. Kennedy has been with the White Sox since 1940 and offers defensive versatility at third base and in the outfield.
