flavum Posted yesterday at 09:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:53 AM RIP Fernando. He was a big deal in 1981 and had some other good years. Sad this is happening right before the Dodgers/Yankees Series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted yesterday at 01:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:01 PM He was nearly a White Sox. They wanted him, but the Dodgers got him. A couple of really close near misses Roland Hemond and Bill Veeck had that might have made Reinsdorf look better. Almost got Fernando, and almost had Guidry thrown in the Bucky Dent trade which included Gamble and Hoyt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost got Fernando, and almost had Guidry thrown in the Bucky Dent trade which included Gamble and Hoyt. The following year Guidry was to have been dealt to Toronto for Bill Singer in a transaction that was approved by the Yankees but was vetoed by Blue Jays president Peter Bavasi.[6] Went on to make four All Star teams from 1979 to mid 80s.
