 | Wednesday, October 15th, 1958: $7,420,000 Lands C Hilderbrand for Salamanders
Sportswriters questioned the wisdom of the freshly signed pact between Radek Hilderbrand and Fredericton today. The deal, set at a $7,420,000 price tag, will run for 2 years.
On the face of it, all is well, though insiders say there could be repercussions in the clubhouse if Hilderbrand starts running his mouth as he has been known to in the past.
His all-time numbers show Hilderbrand is carrying a .289 career batting average with 18 home runs and 151 RBIs. |

There's still time for potential dealmakers to get instant feedback on their proposals, but once the day ends, GMs will be returning home. As a result the tempo of dealmaking, typically rapid at the Winter Meetings, will slow to its more customary pace. |
| Thursday, October 9th, 1958: RMB News: Winter Meetings Begin
The flights have arrived, the check-ins at the hotels have been completed and the bags have been unpacked. With that, the annual congregation known as the Royal Maritime Baseball Winter Meetings can now begin in earnest. General managers from across the league will engage in three days of talk and debate, and fans, reporters and rival ballclubs will all await the developments with keen anticipation. Trade and contract talk will no doubt be heard almost everywhere a team GM can be found and the close proximity of so many club officials will make for rapid feedback on any proposals. |
