Going, Going, Gone!: The Art of the Trade in Major League Baseball

by Fran Zimniuch

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

In the history of baseball, trading baseball players was almost as easy as trading baseball cards. These trades were negotiated before the end of the reserve clause and the beginning of arbitration, free agency, gargantuan salaries, and no-trade contracts. Drawing upon his vast research and insider access, Zimniuch explores trading throughout the years, profiling players who teams regrettably traded, and shares perspectives from the general managers and the players themselves. With a foreword by former general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers Fred Claire, Going Going Gone is a must-read for baseball fans.
