The trade that the two clubs made sent left-hander Britt Bums and two minor leaguers to the Yankees for right-hander joe Cowley and catcher Ron Hassey. The trade the Yankees and White Sox might yet make would send free-agent catcher Carlton Fisk to the Yankees for designated hitter Don Baylor. The deal was the 11th at these meetings, involving 25 major league players. Before making the second deal with New York, the White Sox must first sign Fisk, and bath players are demanding bonuses for waiving no-trade rights. Agent Jerry Kapstein. who represents each, said Thursday that neither has yet given assurances these rights will be waived. Though neither club would confirm that the Fisk-Baylor deal would be made. White Sox Genera) Manager Ken Harrelson said. "It's Kapstein's party now. You have to follow his lead, and that's what we’re doing.” Kapstein said "nothing is im minent" with Fisk. Burns, a 26-year-old left hander, was 18-11 with a 3.96 ERA last year for the White Sox, from whom he had asked to be traded. An earlier trade with Atlanta for Bums had fallen through. Bums broke in with the White Sox in 1979 and has spent the past 6 1-2 seasons with the club. Cowley, a 27-year-old right hander, was 12-6 with a 3.95 ERA. making 26 of his 30 ap pearances as a starter. Cowley was signed as a free agent by the Yankees on Oct. 20. 1983. Hassey, 32. hit .296 for the Yankees last season with 42 RBI and 13 home runs in 267 at bats. A left-handed hitter, Hassey was platooned at catcher for much of the season with Butch Wynegar, who is a free agent. The only catchers left now on New York's roster who have major league experience are second-year player Scott Bradley and Juan Espino. "We have plans to take care of our catching needs, and we’re not concerned about it," Yankees Manager Lou Pinielia said, indicating a Fisk deal could be made soon. Viking netter honored PORTLAND!
