Mets swap for Olerud; take time for Todd Talk
New York Daily News, December 21, 1996
John Olerud was seen by the Blue Jays as someone whose contract needed to be dumped, and the Mets were the team that took a chance. This one paid off; Olerud was productive in his three years at Shea. Also, the Mets are meeting with Todd Hundley, coming off a club-record 41 home-run season, to discuss a new contract.
