Marlins trade Steve Cishek to Cardinals

Miami was fielding offers for Steve Cishek and a deal has reportedly been agreed upon. According to Clark Spencer of The Miami Herald, the Cardinals have acquired Cishek from the Marlins in exchange for Double-A pitcher Kyle Barraclough.

Cishek has struggled at times to this point in 2015, posting a 4.50 ERA and 3.44 FIP over 32.0 innings. He opened the season as the Marlins' closer but had difficulty throwing strikes and was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans for a brief time. He has only saved three contests in 2015 but might be a bounce back candidate and thrive in the back of St.
