Offseason[edit]

October 7, 1969: Dick Allen, Jerry Johnson and Cookie Rojas were traded by the Phillies to the St. Louis Cardinals for Curt Flood, Byron Browne, Joe Hoerner, and Tim McCarver. Curt Flood refused to report to his new team. The Cardinals sent Willie Montañez to the Phillies on April 8, 1970 and Bob Browning (minors) to the Phillies on August 30 as compensation.^[1]
November 17, 1969: Johnny Callison and a player to be named later were traded by the Phillies to the Chicago Cubs for Oscar Gamble and Dick Selma. The Phillies completed the deal by sending Larry Colton to the Cubs in January 1970.^[2]
January 1970: Rich Barry was purchased from the Phillies by the Hawaii Islanders.^[3]
Prior to 1970 season: Doc Edwards was released by the Phillies.^[4]

Regular season[edit]

In June 1970, a series of injuries left the Phillies short a catcher and they activated Doc Edwards, who at the time was their bullpen coach. Edwards responded with two hits in his first game back and then caught a Jim Bunning-Dick Selma two-hitter.^[5]
