St. Louis Cardinals Send:
RP: Jon Ricketts: MLB

I accept this trade. I've been in need of a Lefty for our bullpen for a long time now and I finally found one in Ricketts who should solidfy a top bullpen spot,

Cardinals accept.

Rickett's ratings make it difficult to part with him, but I've never really been sold on him as the closer of the future for us and he's struggled in the role so far this season. I was either going to need to sell while he still had value, or ride out the storm and see what happens. Four teams have inquired over the last few days, TB won with the best offer. $5 million will help us sign some draft picks - or participate in IFA - after the draft picks asks sky rocketed. The two pitchers are 20 years old, probably project now as AAAA guys, but they're young and have good traits so we'll play the lottery.
