Atlanta acquired Woody Sauldsberry from Zephyrs in exchange for Barney Cable.
The Hawks acquired Woody Sauldsberry from the Chicago Zephyrs on January 30, 1963 and sent Barney Cable the other way. The canonical record treats this as a direct one-for-one player exchange with no additional pick or cash component.
St. Louis received the higher canonical grade because Sauldsberry represented the stronger realized return in the existing record. The Hawks did not have to attach another asset to complete the exchange, keeping the cost limited to Cable.
The Zephyrs received Cable as the full return. With no documented secondary asset in the canonical transaction, Chicago’s result rises or falls entirely with the value of that one incoming player.
TradeVerdicts assigns St. Louis a B+ and the Chicago/Washington franchise a C. That supports a Hawks win while still recognizing that Chicago received a real player rather than an empty return.
Hawks Win — St. Louis B+, Chicago/Washington franchise C. Atlanta acquired Woody Sauldsberry from Zephyrs in exchange for Barney Cable.
