Tracey Stallard was acquired on December 11th, 1962 from the Boston Red Sox, along with Pumpsie Green and Al Moran in exchange for Felix Mantilla. Tracy had a rough 1963 season, posting a 4.71 ERA over 154 innings, which included 23 starts. His 1964 season was much better posting a 3.79 ERA over 225.2 innings pitched. Unfortunately, run support was nowhere to be found. Stallard lead the league with 20 losses that season. After the '64 season, the Mets cashed in on Stallard's 2.0 WAR season. On December 7th, they dealt him to St. Louis along with Elio Chacon for Johnny Lewis and Gordie Richardson. Stallard pitched the '65 and '66 season for the Cardinals, before finally hanging it up in 1969.
