    Rick Sutcliffe | Getty Images This was a watershed year for Dallas Green in making deals. The Cubs had regressed, a bit, from their 1982 record of 73-89 to 71-91 in 1983. They hired Jim Frey as manager, a World Series-winning guy, and hopes were a bit higher in 1984. The first trade Green made that calendar year turned out to be a difference-maker.
