Blanks' playing time diminished in Texas. He made just 138 plate appearances, the fewest he'd ever made in a full major league season. After the season, he and Doyle Alexander were traded to the Atlanta Braves for Jeff Burroughs, Adrian Devine and Pepe FrÃas, however, Burroughs invoked his no-trade clause. The trade was later worked out with the Braves receiving $50,000 instead of Burroughs.
