BOSTON CONTINUES TO PURGE SALARIES, DEAL ROSS, PENRICE TO PROVIDENCE

HARTFORD - The Boston Yankees dealt starting catcher Vic Ross and prospect shortstop Alfie Penrice down the road to the newly relocated Providence Bees.

"I hope they don't think we'll be any easier on them when they're playing us," said GM D.C. Daly announcing the team's second trade in less than 48 hours.

In this deal, the team acquired three (1B Roger Schilder & 2B Terry Wilkie) and pitcher Victor Lopez

The deal saved the team over $6.6 million. Daly said the move was propelled by the team's depth at catcher.

"We're pretty happy with the guys we have in the minors, who seemed poised to take over the position and so, we'll give them a shot at it."

In a separate deal announced today, they sent backup catcher Manny Lopez to the Philadelphia Colonials for pitcher Jay Jackson. Jackson, 24, went 12-10 with a 3.82 ERA in 35 starts with the Colonials last year.
