St. Louis Cardinals signed LHP Trever Miller on a one-year contract.
The Cardinals are looking to bolster their left-handed presence. While Miller isn't a shutdown lefty specialist, he has rattled off six solid years in a row.
St. Louis Cardinals acquired SS Khalil Greene from the San Diego Padres for RHP Mark Worrell and a player to be named later .
A salary dump if there ever was one. Sure, Worrell has the ability to become an excellent reliever, and we don't know the caliber of the player to be named later, but still... ouch. Greene, who certainly doesn't get on base, has a career .802 OPS on the road as compared to .682 at Petco Park. He is capable defensively and will give the Cardinals a deep lineup with nearly everyone a threat to hit a home run. The value on the Padres' side was clearing his salary as Greene is worth more in terms of the talent they got. He's a free agent after the year.
