- Marty Perez moved around a lot in 1977. During spring training Perez was traded from the Giants to the New York Yankees for Terry Whitfield. Perez was slated to share time at shortstop with Fred Stanley, but when the Yankees acquired shortstop Bucky Dent in early April Marty was expendable. On April 27 Marty was traded (with Dock Ellis and Larry Murray) to the Oakland A's for Mike Torrez. Perez played a lot more for the last place A's, but his career was winding down and he hung 'em up after the 1978 season.
