The Philadelphia Whiz Wits agree to send Dick Kokos, Bill Renna, and a 1954 second round draft pick to Boston in return for Dave Hoskins and Julio Moreno

I am now in with a payroll of over $79M so if my offense doesn't totally own poo poo and coast me into contention despite my pitching staff's best efforts, I will be very disappointed.

This is my plan every season. I'll win 75 games and steadfastly refuse to blow it up for some stubborn reason.

i've been cobbling together enough PAs and IPs through drafting single season players for so long that i don't even really have the ability to blow my team up if i wanted to because i have no long term assets. Part of it is that the draft is lovely every year and i haven't had a lottery pick since 1947.
