In the last blog we looked at a strange deal where apparently Don Young was sent to the A's Iowa farm club by the Cubs in exchange for a purchase of Roberto Rodriguez from the Cubs' Tacoma club. Now we find this from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal of June 25, 1970.
"Outfielder
Don
Young
was
sold
to
Des
Moines
of
the
American
Association,
farm
club
of
the
Oakland
A's.
Pitcher
Jim
Dunegan,
a
converted
outfielder,
was
optioned
to
Tacoma.
Lefthanded
pitcher
Larry
Gura
was
recalled
from
Tacoma
where
he
had
a
3-4
record.
The
Cubs
also
bought
the
contract
of
righthanded
relief
pitcher
Roberto
Rodriguez
from
Tacoma.
Rodriguez
was obtained
by
San
Diego
May
25
in
a
conditional
deal
from
the
A's.
His
contract
was
sold
to
Tacoma
Tuesday
and
brought
by
the
Cubs
Wednesday."
" a
conditional
deal"
Still looking but possibly a condition of that deal was that Rodriguez would either have to be returned to the A's or compensation would have to be worked out. That would make the Young-to-Iowa quid pro quo make sense...
Interesting....
