New York Signs Kutz...No McKay for Gothams?

NEW YORK, NY. February 1, 1918 - In a very shocking move, the Gothams have signed injured right fielder Baptist Kutz, a 32-year-old who spent his last four seasons with the Chicago Whales.

Kutz has put together a solid career thus far, but has been injured often. Many teams were scared to sign him this off-season because of an injured finger. He should be ready by opening day, but his history shows that he won't be the same because of it.

The bigger story, however, is the fact that the Gothams were favorites to land Snooks McKay, the best free agent available, who is also a right-fielder. Has New York given up on him? Perhaps Kutz is insurance and they still want McKay?

It has been a back and forth battle between New York and Brooklyn to land McKay, but the last we've heard was that the Gothams were in the lead.
