MIL/ CWS Trade

[Chicago White Sox]

MIL sends Langeliers and Tre Fletcher (both prospects) to

CWS for Max Stassi. White Sox to pay $3M in 2021 cash (cap coverage) & 750k which is 25% of Stassi’s 2022 contract salary

White Sox need to get younger. Langeliers will be our catcher of the future and Tre Fletcher should be a fixture in the OF for many years. Thanks for the deal Jerry

[Milwaukee Brewers]

Brewers agree to this deal.

We certainly did not want to give up Langeliers, but with the ageless wonder Yadi continuing to block every C prospect the Cards can develop, we have no viable option at C behind Sal Perez.  If he were to go down with injury we would be pretty screwed.  Stassi is no Sal, but he's held his own this year and at least gives us a bat that's able to contribute something positive most nights.

Thanks to the White Sox for the late hour deal to beat the deadline.
