Big Deal Chances Unlikely as Trade Deadline Nears
Baseball executives circle the dial as midnight trades loom. The Yankees eye Ned Garver, the Indians want Gene Woodling and Billy Cox from Baltimore, and the Giants seek a catcher, but few deals seem likely. Brooklyn Dodgers snag Bob Borkowski from Cincinnati to complete last week’s Joe Black swap, while Cincinnati may push Smokey Burgess to the Giants if the price fits. Westrum and Katt pace the Giants’ struggles behind the plate as Durocher weighs bold moves. The market appears quiet beyond those moves, with teams relying on current rosters and farm help.
