The St. Louis Cardinals made a trade on Tuesday afternoon, just not the one that fans wanted. Just days after trading away a couple of outfielders, the team is bringing one in the other way. It may have been far from Nolan Arenado, but the Cardinals could’ve gotten a sneaky-good player in the 26-year-old Austin Dean from the Miami Marlins. Let me explain.
First of all, Dean came extremely cheap. In exchange for the outfielder, the Cardinals gave up Diowill Burgos, another outfielder. Burgos put up pretty good numbers in the Dominican Summer League, but the 18-year-old struggled at Rookie Ball.
