It's Official: Rafael Furcal traded to the Cardinals


The Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a a deal that would will bring shortstop Rafael Furcal to St. Louis before Sunday's trade deadline.
The Cardinals are likely to also receive cash in the deal, and they will be sending a minor-league outfielder who is not on the 40-man roster to the Dodgers.
Furcal should join the team by Sunday afternoon to play in Sunday Night's game against the Cubs. I kinda like this deal. It didn't take much to get him. Most of the year he has been hurt and his numbers are down. Furcal has the speed we need and his batting average has been better lately. He is an upgrade over Theriot. This move may move Theriot over to second base.
