| Lucas and Lashway Dealt Monday, April 21st , 1975 According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Detroit Dynamos and the Seattle Kings. As part of the deal, the Dynamos swapped 33-year old 3B Jack Lucas to the Kings getting 22-year old minor league RHP Art Purnell, 19-year old minor league 3B Pete Pratt, and 24-year old minor league RHP Ted Lashway in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team.
Lucas is hitting .333 so far this season with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. He has 9 hits including 1 home run, 2 walks and .400 OBP. | | |
