SMB TRADING BONG ALVAREZ TO GORDON'S
Manila, Jan. 8, 1998 - There are negotiations to trade Beerman Bong Alvarez for Film-Am Steven Smith, the Boar's first round draft choice.
The Alvarez-Smith trade will take a very long route because San Miguel and Gordon's Gin are sister teams, but there are indications that it will happen.
Only Gordon's could afford Alvarez' 1998 salary, which would be P480,000 a month. Gordon's would become Bong's fifth team, having been with Alaska, Sta. Lucia and Shell before joining the Beermen.
