MIL/STL Trade

[Milwaukee Brewers]

The Brewers and Cards pull off another intra-division trade.

Brewers send to Cards:

Drew Rasmussen, SP, TB - 23/$1M TC3
IKF, IF/OF, NYY - $6.75M x 3 yrs

Cards send to Brewers:

Starling Marte, OF, NYM - 23/$4.69M (after prior coverage) 24/$14.06M (STL to cover 25%) 25/UFA

Marte was ice cold for much of the first half but has started warming up recently. We're betting on him being the Marte we're used to in the 2nd half. IKF was a depth piece for us and Rasmussen just had his third procedure on his elbow. He'd be a low risk guy to keep but as people like to say, you have to give to get. We'll let Joe take the risk on that elbow.

Thanks for the deal. Best of luck.

Accept. Risky move, especially with my cap situation and the impending trade deadline, but no guts no glory. IKF is kinda poopy, but provides some coverage while Thairo is hurt. Rasmussen will be house money and a cheap IL stash.
