Reflecting on MLB history:

– 1915 witnesses the Yankees acquiring Wally Pipp from the Tigers, a move that eventually solidifies him as the first baseman for New York for a decade.

– The ongoing verbal sparring between Babe Ruth and Red Sox owner Harry Frazee continues in 1920, with Ruth expressing his dissatisfaction with Frazee’s ownership.

– Commissioner Landis takes a significant step during the Great Depression in 1933, announcing a 40 percent reduction in his salary, a gesture indicative of the tough economic times affecting players’ salaries as well.

– In 1971, Reds outfielder Bobby Tolan suffers a torn Achilles tendon while playing basketball, leading to him missing the upcoming season and never fully recovering to his 1970 form when he hit .316 and led the league in stolen bases.

The year 1985 marks the election of Lou Brock and Hoyt Wilhelm to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA, while Pete Rose’s release from federal prison after serving five months for tax evasion is highlighted in 1991.

Notable transactions include the Detroit Tigers signing Cecil Fielder to a five-year, $36 million contract in 1993, briefly making him the highest-paid player in the majors. The IBAF threatens to withdraw its sanctioning of the World Baseball Classic in 2006 unless the U.S. government allows Cuba to compete. In the same year, Justin Upton, the No. 1 overall pick, agrees to a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, featuring a $6.1 million signing bonus.

In 2016, the Dodgers finalize a lucrative eight-year, $25 million deal with Japanese pitcher Kenta Maeda, including incentives that could escalate the value to $106.2 million. Lastly, in 2021, the Mets make a significant trade, acquiring shortstop Francisco Lindor and pitcher Carlos Carrasco from the Indians in exchange for infielders Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez, along with pitcher Josh Wolf and outfielder Isaiah Greene.”
