A deal that both teams might go for would be a big league starter and Niemann for Rick Ankiel or Ryan Ludwick. Both players are eligible for arbitration (and Ankiel can become a free agent after 2009), but Tampa Bay has room to add payroll. St. Louis wants to trade an outfielder to create an opening for Rasmus. My guess is the Rays would prefer to part with Jackson and get Ankiel, while the Cardinals would rather obtain Sonnanstine and deal Ludwick.
