[STL Cardinals]

Cards acquire

SP Jake Odorizzi 21: 6.15, 22-25: 9.26, 26: TO 13.89

Yanks receive

SS H. Kim 4 years @ 7
SS R. Preciado prospect
SP Nick Bitzko prospect

Cards accept. Trying to put together the meat of our 2022 rotation before off-season and free agency. Got MadBum yesterday and now Odorizzo today to slot in behind Sale and Darvish for hopefully a competitive 2022 campaign. Kim was a waiver claim and included to afford Odorizzi for this year. Got the two prospects in the Donaldson/Morton deals, so we see it as rental Donaldson and Morton for Odorizzi, who has had 6 straight good starts and stays with Houston IRL for 2 more years after this one. The prospects are well-regarded but still teenagers, so worth a solid SP3 in our eyes. Thanks for the deal!!

NYY accepts this trade to bring in Kim and 2 additional prospects. Odorizzi has done well for us but we are going nowhere fast this year and continue to retool for years to come. This made Odo expendable. We feel Kim is coming into his own after a slow start and will get playing time one way or another because of his contract IRL. We also really like Nick Bitsko andReginald Preciado and are willing to wait for them to reach MLB IRL. Nice doing business with you STL!
