As reported Thursday night, the Cardinals completed a six player trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. The Cardinals sent outfielders Jose Martinez, Randy Arozarena, and a Compensation A draft pick (after the first round) to Tampa Bay. In exchange, they received left-handed pitching prospect Matt Liberatore, catching prospect Edgardo Rodriguez, and a Compensation B draft pick (after the second round). The deal marks the end of Martinez’s four years with the Cardinals, and finally consummates a deal to Tampa Bay that seems to have been rumored since Moses wore short pants (even if it was really just a little over a year).
