Expos' budget low, player trades high
The Associated Press
“It’s sad,” Wetteland said. “Apparently they don't want to spend a dollar to make two.”
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Newly acquired relief ace John Weteland joined the New York Yankees for a voluntary workout yesterday, but his mind was still on the dismantling of the Montreal Expos, the team that traded him.
Montreal, citing a need to dramatically reduce its payroll, sent Wetelland to the Yankees on Wednesday for Class A prospect, Fernando Seguignol, a player to be named — expected to be a marginal talent —
and what both teams indicated was a substantial amount of cash.
On the same day Montreal parted with one of the game's premiere relievers without receiving anything of immediate value, the Expos also dealt 16-game winner Ken Hill to St. Louis for three prospects. Montreal is almost sure to lose more expensive talent such as Larry Walker and Marquis Grissom before it is over.
"I spent three years with Montreal," Wetteland. "We all practically grew up together. That's tough."
Montreal received little reward after nurturing its talented young group of players. The Expos held the best record in the major leagues
at 74-40 when players struck last
August 12, but never had the opportunity to prove their mettle in postseason play.
Hard-line owners point to Montreal's small-market woes as evidence that baseball's economic system must be overhauled to include revenue sharing and a payroll tax that would help level the playing field shared by large and small markets.
Yankees captain Don Mattingly, for one, doesn't agree with that assessment.
"It strikes me they're not willing to put a product out or even try to," he said.
