Reds eye Fassero, Abbott It appears that the Cincinnati Reds' hunt for pitching help is down to a pair of left-handers, the Montreal Expos' Jeff Fassero or the Chicago White Sox' Jim Abbott.

Even if the contract language is agreed upon in the next day or so, a person close to Steinbrenner said the owner is not prepared to promote Strawberry because he feels Goodstein has tried to usurp his control by dictating when the player will join the Yankees. Goodstein has felt that the 33-year-old designated hitter should be elevated and has tried to get an immediate promotion clause included In the contract.
