According to the MLB.com Twitter, the Cardinals have acquired Mark DeRosa from the Indians for RP Chris Perez and a player to be named later.

They gave up what? Sounds like nada to me.

Re: DeRosa to Cards For Perez & PTBNL
Where is Jocketty on this? We couldn't have given up anything better than Perez and a BTBN?

(Or as Grande calls him, "Jockerty.")

Re: DeRosa to Cards For Perez & PTBNL
Chris Perez has closer stuff. He has failed a few times at holding down the closer role. He's a good young power arm. Also, depends on the PTBNL. Remember Owings was a PTBNL.

Good deal for St. Louis, although I don't think DeRosa is exactly the key to pushing a team over the top. Still it would have been nice to have him at 3B with Edwin out.

Re: DeRosa to Cards For Perez & PTBNL
The Reds really don't a have a young, major league ready arm that's as good as Perez right now. They have a few guys in the minors, but not on the 25 man roster.

Agree. The Tribe is looking for a guy to contribute over the long run, not for a Stormy Weathers type (with accompanying salary). Our nearest equivalent would be Roenicke, and he's older and not nearly as accomplished as Perez. I like the deal for Cleveland.

Agreed. The Reds would have to give up Burton if not more. If Roenicke were lights out I could see it but he's still unproven.

Re: DeRosa to Cards For Perez & PTBNL
I am hoping this is plan B for a Holliday deal falling through, since apparently Perez was a principal in that rumor.

Well, that explains why he wasn't in the Tribe's lineup tonight.

Re: DeRosa to Cards For Perez & PTBNL
The Indians get a good arm in return and it should also open up playing time for Matt LaPorta.

I was reading a Cardinals board, and the posters over there were nearly unanimous in not wanting Holliday. Evidently, the price was Ludwick, one of Motte, McClellan, or Perez, and a minor-league prospect.

Hopefully LaPorta can do more with said playing time this go round. He killed my fantasy team for a few weeks during his last shot.

I wonder if there's any chance that Perez will be with the Tribe for tomorrows game.
