Josiah Ragsdale Traded to Cardinals in Pitching Swap

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired outfield prospect Josiah Ragsdale from the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Ragsdale, ranked as the #13 prospect in the deal, was sent to St. Louis along with Alexander Frias in exchange for pitchers Dustin May and JoJo Romero. The trade is seen as a significant win for Cardinals executive Chaim Bloom, who secured a high-upside return for the veteran pitchers. Ragsdale represents a key piece in the Cardinals' effort to bolster their farm system.
