Tuesday, October 15th , 1974
Earl Peters and San Diego officials have reached an agreement keeping the 30-year-old catcher around another 4 years.

Though terms were not confirmed, insiders tell BNN that Peters re-signed for $472,000 per year.

For the season, Peters has produced 100 hits in 456 at-bats for a .219 average with 29 home runs and gotten on base at a .349 clip.
San Diego CL Prater Will Miss 5 Months
Tuesday, October 15th , 1974
When Ed Prater was hurt against the Pittsburgh Industrials, the San Diego Captains were hopeful that the injury was not serious. However, it proved to be more severe than first thought. The 27-year-old closer suffered a torn tendon in his elbow throwing a pitch in yesterday's game. Team doctors told BNN today that Prater would miss 5 months of the season.

This year, his stats show Prater has 10 saves in 33 relief appearances with a 5-1 mark and 2.43 ERA. He has struck out 34 batters and issued 18 walks in 40.2 innings. Opposing clubs have a .216 against him.
