Cardinals/Cubs Trade

[Deleted]

St. Louis Cardinals trades away

Nevin, Tyler
(Minors)


Chicago Cubs trades away

Cláudio, Álex (RP) 

I was looking to get a controllable bullpen piece to upgrade my current situation. Nevin is 2-3 seasons away from the Majors so he was a prospect I didn't mind dealing for a piece to help my club this season and next.

In a second deal today between both clubs...

St. Louis Cardinals trades away
Harvey, Hunter

Chicago Cubs trades away
Romero, Enny
Rusin, Chris

[Chicago Cubs]

Cubs agree to both trades posted above. Here's the contracts:

Alex Claudio 0.5/1/2/ARB/ARB/ARB
Chris Rusin RP COL - 0.5/ARB/ARB/ARB
Enny Romero RP WAS - 0.5/1/2/ARB/ARB/ARB

I've got an abundance of RPs right now with Joe Smith recently coming off the DL and Diekman coming back in a few weeks; so figured I could afford to move some for additional prospect depth. Thanks for the deal and good luck in the playoffs.
