Cardinals Gain, Lose A Pitcher In Rule 5 Draft

The Cardinals remained mostly quiet in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft, the final event of baseball's annual Winter Meetings.
The Cardinals lost righthanded starting pitcher Brian Broderick to the Washington Nationals in this morning's major league (Rule 5) draft, which marks the unofficial conclusion of MLB's winter meetings.
Right-hander Brian Broderick’s breakthrough season with Double-A Springfield this past summer will get him an audition with the Washington Nationals.
The Cardinals gamble on Adam Ottavino paid off. It didn’t on Brian Broderick.
Brian Broderick moves to Washington while St. Louis picks minor league left-hander Juan Mijares in the Rule 5 draft.
