According to Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals have acquired shortstop Julio Lugo for outfielder Chris Duncan.
Cardinals are not responsible for the $13.5 million that remains on Lugo's contract. Boston Red Sox are eating that money. The Red Sox just wanted to get something in return for Lugo.
I gotta say I love this. Maybe just because we actually got something for Lugo. Duncan can hit and we needed BATS. Duncan had a good 2007, injury plagued 08 and hasn't really got it going in 09. No real downside here though. Good work today Theo.
What does this mean? Kotsay is probably gone. Don't be surprised if Saito or a BP arm get moved soon too. Laroche platoons with Lowell and Duncan is Papi/OF insurance in AAA.
