APRIL 24th - TRADE RUMOURS : What are the Yanks going to do with Mumphrey ?


Jerry Mumphrey is doing his best to stay in New York, outhitting the Yanks' big free-agent
signing Dave Collins by a country mile so far. What do the Yanks do with Mumphrey ?
Collins' poor start (.174 BA and 0 SBs) has the New York brass scratching their heads.

Meanwhile, the New York Times is reporting that the Yankees are actively shopping
Mumphrey, in addition to Bucky Dent, around to both leagues, in search of help for their
bullpen.
