Cardinals send 3B Adrian Beltre to the reds in exchange for CF Jackie Bradley Jr. and SP Tanner Houck. The Cardinals will eat 50% ($9M) or Beltre's 2018 salary.
Cardinals were not going to re-sign Beltre likely and had depth at 3B. Getting the Red Sox #3 Prospect to fill a weak minor league system and a controllable CF as depth as Dexter Fowler loses playing time made sense.
Wishing Reds best of luck the rest of this year and hoping Beltre does not come back to knock me out of a Wild Card spot.
