TA 2/13: Cards Acquire a Depth Pitcher and Catcher for Cash

Over the past few days, the Cards announced the following transactions:

2/10/21: Traded cash considerations to the Philadelphia Phillies for RHP Johan Quezada. 40-man roster at 38.

2/11/21: Traded cash considerations to the New York Mets for C Ali Sanchez. 40-man roster at 39.

QUEZADA

Quezada originally signed with the Twins in September 2012 as an 18-year old international free agent out of the Dominican Republic. It may not make any sense, but he doesn’t have as much pitching experience as you would expect for a player who has been around as long as he has.
