1900: Future Hall of Fame pitcher Ted Lyons is born in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Lyons will make his major league debut in 1923 and will go on to win 260 games over a 21-year career with the Chicago White Sox.

1944: Washington Senators third baseman Buddy Lewis wins the Distinguished Flying Cross for precision flying over the Burma War Theater.

1957: CBS states that it will not broadcast baseball into any area at the time a minor league game is scheduled.

1957: The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds exchange well-known first basemen. The Pirates acquire slugger Ted Kluszewski, known for wearing cut-off sleeves to accommodate his bulging biceps. In exchange, Pittsburgh surrenders Dee Fondy, who batted .313 last season while splitting the season between the Pirates and the Chicago Cubs.

1984: The Detroit Tigers signed John Pacella as a free agent.

1994: The Houston Astros and San Diego Padres swing a mammoth twelve-player trade. Houston obtains OF Derek Bell, IF Ricky Gutierrez, P Pedro Martinez, OF Phil Plantier, and IF Craig Shipley from San Diego in exchange for 3B Ken Caminiti, SS And?jar Cede?o, OF Steve Finley, 1B Roberto Petagine, P Brian Williams, and a player to be named. P Sean Fesh will go to the Padres next May to complete the biggest deal in the major leagues since 1957.

1995: The Chicago White Sox trade OF Tim Raines to the New York Yankees in exchange for future considerations.

1998: The Detroit Tigers signed Gregg Jefferies as a free agent.
1998: The Detroit Tigers traded Luis Gonzalez to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Karim Garcia.

2015: Can a team ever have too much relief pitching? Already sporting the terrific late-game duo of Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances, the Yankees trade for Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in return for four prospects: Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda. The Bronx Bombers make the trade even though Chapman is currently under investigation for a domestic violence incident that could result in an extensive suspension.

2020: The Padres continue to be the busiest team this off-season, as two days after landing P Blake Snell, they reportedly pull off another deal for a front-line pitcher, Yu Darvish, acquired from the Cubs alongside C Victor Caratini in return for P Zach Davies and four prospects. The Padres are also said to have come to an agreement with Korean infielder Ha-seong Kim, who has been made available via the Posting system. These latest two deals are still awaiting confirmation, but they underline that the Friars are serious about making a title run this coming season.
