Pirates Reach Deal with Cardinals
With the trade deadline less than a month away, teams are starting to make their moves. Here, the Pittsburgh Pirates sent pitcher Deacon Phillippe (season projected 1.6 WAR) and rookie 3rd-baseman Lee Tannehill (#56 ranked prospect) to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for All-Star 3rd-baseman Tommy Leach (season projected 5.4 WAR). It is an interesting trade given that the teams are currently tied in the National League standings; 5 games out of 1st-place.
