The Cincinnati Reds trade Heinie Groh to the New York Giants for George Burns, Mike Gonzalez and cash.

On December 6, 1921 — The Cincinnati Reds trade Heinie Groh to the New York Giants for George Burns, Mike Gonzalez and cash.

Groh had begun the year with a long contract holdout, only joining the team in June for $10,000 (less than the $12,000 he had requested) on the condition that he would be immediately traded to the Giants. A deal was completed to send him back to New York, where McGraw had long been trying to re-acquire him; but Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis canceled the trade, requiring that Groh complete the year with the Reds. In December, after the Giants had won the World Series, he was finally sent to New York for  Burns and Gonzalez varying reports give amounts from $100,000 to $250,000 in cash.
