Pirates and Browns Quickly Start Rebuilding
The Pirates traded Gus Bell to Cincinnati for three players as Pittsburgh aims to rebound from a last place finish. St. Louis acquired Bill Hunter from Brooklyn for cash and three players in a major move, while other clubs used minor leaguers in paper transactions and A's bought John Mackinson from Birmingham. Bell hit .246 in 131 games for Pittsburgh, and the Reds also acquired Henley and Abrams in earlier moves.
