[QUOTE="Boomauer, post: 1729203, member: 10565"] If I remember correctly Augie Busch didn't think Carlton was worth the $65,000/year the big lefty requested, plus the two were publicly feuding. Traded him(against GM Bing Devine's advice) to the Phillies for Rick Wise. Both pitchers then signed $65,000 contracts with their new clubs!😡 Worst trade in Cards history by far. At the time I remember a Cards announcer discussing the trade....he was trying to convince Cards fans that it was a decent trade because Wise was one of the best hitting pitchers in baseball!
