Cubs Trade Cey to Oakland

The Chicago Cubs today traded veteran third baseman Ron Cey to the Oakland A’s for infielder Luis Quinones.

Cey, 38, had been with the Cubs since 1983. Before playing for the Cubs, Cey was with the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1973 to 1983. He hit .350 and was a co-MVP in the 1981 World Series, which the Dodgers won in six games over the New York Yankees. Quinones, 24, was in the San Francisco Giants organization but was traded to the A’s after last season.
