Chris Lee/St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Peter Gammons is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals are shipping third base prospect Zack Cox to the Miami Marlins in exchange for right-handed relief pitcher Edward Mujica. The Cardinals are adding Mujica in an effort to bolster their bullpen which boasts the second worst fWAR total at -0.2 and the third worst FIP and HR/9 rates in the Majors. (more…)

Are the Athletics Done Dealing?

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Michael Schwartze

It is obvious that the Athletics are in a rebuilding process. They have dealt Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez, and Andrew Bailey this offseason for prospects in return. In an article I wrote the other week, I took a look at the Athletics potential future rotation with all the pieces in the organization. There are many top prospects and young pitchers that could make for one of the best rotations in the league. Well a handful of these guys are close to the big leagues and once ready, it could make for quite the logjam in the rotation. In the article I mentioned above I also took a shot at projecting the A’s opening day rotation which is as follows:

1. Brandon McCarthy
2. Guillermo Moscoso
3. Dallas Braden
4. Brad Peacock
5. Tom Milone

That rotation is solid looking but there are still a lot of guys that are very close to being major league ready; Jarrod Parker, Tyson Ross, and Sonny Gray. Brett Anderson should also be back in the rotation by the middle of the season. Well with those guys knocking at the door, some space may need to be cleared in the rotation. The perfect opportunity for that: The Trade Deadline.
