to find a third baseman through
a trade or free agency
"Mika Blowers gives u* n
quality third baseman who pos
scssi-. outstanding power."
Dodgers executive vice presi
dent Fred Claire said "His 23
home nms and 96 RBI (in 1995)
represent a break through-type
season for him.
"Mike is the guy to play third
base for us We traded two gtaid
young players; we wouldn't
nave done that if we didn't feel
that we had acquired the player
who would provide the answer
at third."
In exchange for Blowers, the
Mariners will get second base
man Miguel Cairo and third
baseman Willis Otane/.
Blowers, 30. played in 134
games for tho Mariners last sea
son and hit 237 He had career
lunh total*, in homers. RBI.
doubles (24) and hits (113)
Blowers Bed a major league
record for grand slams in a
month with three in August, and

for the Mariners’ roc ord for RBI
in a month

tie area, admitted he was disap
pointed about the trade at first
it's great. I'm exc ited about it
now," he said from Palm
Springs. Ulil . where he has
p tyi . in a golf It
ment "I've had a chance to
think about it I can't think of a
better organization to go to For
me and my family. I'm exc ited
about it."
Blowers said he believed he
proved a point lust season
"I always felt like with an
opportunity to get )4 I4j at-bats
like most regulars, my numbers
would Ik* very good.” he said "1
think the number* speak for
themselves 23 homers and 96
RBI in a short season
'I think I showed everybody
in tin* league 1 could come
through in the big situation I
felt like if 1 got an opportunity to
play every day, I c ould do those
thing* "
C'.lairt* said I he Dodgers had
received good reports on Blow
ers
“I like everything about him.
and we haven't oven negotiated
a < ontrai t yet." Claire said "1
know a lot about him concern
ing his approach to the game 1
really believe he is a player who
is just coining into his own
"He's never had the opportu
nity to have 4tM) at-bats in a
major league season lie s going
to fit in just fine He's a good
defensive player, he's got an
above-average arm. But it's his
approach to the game that I
think will really fit in with the
rest of our team."
Cairo, 21. played in 107 games
for the Dodgers Class AA team
in San Antonio and hit 278
with one homer -41 RBI and 3 1
stolen bastes.
