In an effort to bolster their bullpen down the stretch, the St. Louis Cardinals have acquired Steve Cishek from the Miami Marlins.
Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald first reported the Cardinals and Marlins were closing in on a deal involving Cishek. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports confirmed the report.
MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reported that the Marlins will receive Double-A reliever Kyle Barraclough in return.
There aren't a lot of problem areas for the Cardinals, who are a major league-best 61-34 entering play Friday.
