A trade between the Chicago White Sox...
A trade between the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees hinges on Carlton Fisk and Don Baylor, according to the New York Times.
The Times said a seven-player trade is contingent on the Yankees’ signing Fisk to a new contract and getting Baylor to approve a move to the White Sox.
The trade, if approved, would send Fisk, pitcher Britt Burns and utility infielder Scott Fletcher to the the Yankees for Baylor, a designated hitter who has asked to be traded, catcher Ron Hassey and two pitchers, Joe Cowley and Marty Bystrom.
Fisk, who will be 38 in two months, can declare free agency the day after the World Series ends. In 1985, he had the most productive season of his 15-year major league career, hitting 37 home runs and driving in 107 runs.
Baylor, 36, has a clause in his contract which gives him approval of any trade.
