New York Yankees acquire Chris Chambliss

On April 27, 1975, the New York Yankees make a fruitful trade with the Cleveland Indians, acquiring first baseman Chris Chambliss and pitchers Dick Tidrow and Cecil Upshaw for four players, including pitchers Fritz Peterson and Steve Kline. Chambliss and Tidrow will become key contributors to the Yankees’ pennant-winning teams from 1976 to 1978.
