If you needed a sign that the St. Louis Cardinals are worried about the health of outfielder Matt Holliday, this is it.
In a trade finalized Thursday morning, the Cardinals acquired Brandon Moss from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Rob Kaminsky, one of the Cards’ top pitchers at the lower levels.
Holliday is expected to miss several weeks with his latest quad strain, and the team is hopeful it can get him back by the end of the season. However, the team was bracing for the worst.
