This is the second time Atlanta Braves GM John Coppollela and Cardinal GM John Mozeliak worked out a deal for a starting pitcher since taking over in 2014.
The Deal
The deal sent three ranked prospects RHP John Gant (21), RHP Chris Ellis (17), and infielder Luke Dykstra (9) to the Redbirds in exchange for their veteran lefty.
Gant made 20 appearances for the Braves last year including seven starts when he posted a 1-3 record over 30 IP with a 4.
