Red Sox / Cardinals

[Paul S.]

Red Sox trade:
C Avila, Alex, $5m (2016)
CI LaRoche, Adam, $2m (2013)

Cardinals trade:
C Lucroy, Jonathan, $3m (2015)
OF Dirks, Andy, $4m (2017)

The Cardinals make this trade to get LaRoche's higher production to help while Willingham is on the DL.  With Perez and Grandal catching we can afford to wait to see if Avila can get back on track.  Thanks Jeff.  Red Sox to confirm.
