Frank Torre Trades and Transactions

The Frank Torre trades and transactions seen below include all known instances where Frank Torre has been involved in a trade or transaction of any type as it relates to baseball.

"...he (Frank Torre) does deserve the accolade as outstanding defensive first sacker in the National League. He has paced the circuit in fielding percentages for the last two years, made only four errors in 1957 and six last year, when he played more often. A native of Brooklyn, the 6'5" 29 year-old lefthander never was a Dodger rooter, chose the Braves from eleven big league offers, started as a pitcher, but was transposed in 1951." - Dell Sports Baseball 1959 (10 Best Infielders)
