Summary
Larry Bowa, managing the American League in the Futures Game, reflected on his storied career and a pivotal 1982 trade that sent him to the Cubs—and brought Ryne Sandberg to the Phillies. Bowa joked Sandberg was “just a throw-in,” but admitted he couldn’t have predicted the Hall of Famer’s rise. Sandberg, originally drafted by Philly, became a cornerstone of the Cubs’ 1984 playoff run. The trade was born from Bowa’s contract dispute with Philly and Dallas Green’s bold offer—Bowa’s suggestion of Sandberg sealed the deal, forever altering both franchises’ trajectories.
