After rumors of it late Wednesday night the Cardinals and Indians agreed Thursday morning to a trade of outfielder/first baseman Brandon Moss for left-handed pitcher Rob Kaminsky, St. Louis’s No. 4 minor-league prospect, according to Fangraphs. The Cardinals paid a steep price for Moss, giving up a former first-rounder who some see as the second-best minor-league pitching prospect in the organization. The hope is that Moss can fill the hole left by Matt Adams and now Matt Holliday.
WHAT THIS TRADE MEANS FOR THE CARDINALS
Moss will instantly fill in for the Cardinals mostly at first base but also possibly sparingly at the corner outfield positions.
