A Player To Be Named Later

[mortimer brewster]

In April of 1962 the worst team in Baseball, the Mets, acquired a backup catcher named Harry Chiti from the Indians for a player to be named later.

After watching Chiti at the major league level for a few weeks, The Mets made Chiti the player to be named later and shipped him back to the Indians.

Thought of all of Lou Piniella's "Rookie" cards, so looked him up and sure enough he was a "player to be named later", being shipped from the Senators to the Orioles in 1964.

64 Senators, 68 Indians, and 69 Pilots, all multiplayer rookie cards. Insane. Bill Davis had FIVE but only two teams. But the great thing about Davis is after 5 consecutive rookie cards he was gone, never had a solo card.

That sounds like typical METS

But never knew David Ortiz or Lou Brock as mentioned above were players to be named later

Brock was part of a lopsided trade…but not a “player to be named later”.

I have an August 29th, 1996 Mariners stub from the day the Twins traded Dave Hollins to the Mariners for a player to be named later. Twins got Papi in September 13th

Brock was named in the same breath as Ernie Broglio.
