Cards acquire Justin Masterson from the Indians. I guess this is a rent-a-pitcher deal. He already turned down a big offer from Cleveland. He is 4-6 with a 5.51 ERA and went on the 15 day DL July 8th. Apparently, he hasn't been reactivated from that yet.

They gave up a minor leaguer, James Ramsey. I hope he was a loooong shot to make it to the bigs, because it sure looks like Masterson is a loooong shot to be a huge success for us.

I guess that means we're not getting Price from Tampa or Lester from Boston...
