The St. Louis Cardinals added a powerful bat to bolster their World Series hopes Thursday, as they acquired slugging outfielder and first baseman Brandon Moss from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for highly touted pitching prospect Rob Kaminsky.
Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com was the first to report on talks between the Cards and the Tribe before Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch confirmed the deal.
Cleveland acquired the 31-year-old Moss from the Oakland Athletics this past offseason, and results have been mixed.
