Dodgers Trade for Dickey Owen and Bucks Move
At the winter meetings in Atlanta the Brooklyn Dodgers acquired catcher Dickey Owen from the St. Louis Cardinals for Gus Mancuso, John Pintar, and a cash sum. The Cincinnati Reds sent Billy Myers to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Jim Gleeson and a player to be named later, with no cash involved. The moves heighten National League uncertainty for 1941 as Larry MacPhail pursues additional trades.
