I read about this one without being able to find out whom the Pirates
received in return.  Anyone know?

I also noted that the Expos traded away Dan Driessen to the Giants
(who already sold Rajsich back to the Cards, are now apparently giving
up on Green, and are making a habit of obtaining first basemen from
Montreal) for Bill Laksey, Scot Thompson, and Player To B. Named Later.
Unless the mystery man turns out to be quite a surprise, am I alone in
thinking this move absolutely insane on the Expos part?
