Chicago sends: Adam Eaton WAS 17:$4M, 18:$6M, 19:$8.4M, 20:$9.5M CO ($1.5 buyout), 21:$10.5M ($1.5M buyout) Alex Dickerson SD 17-20:$0.5M
St. Louis sends: Corey Knebel MIL 17:$0.61M Harrison Bader STL - prospect
Two fold for me. Adding another quality arm to my bullpen (and a closer for now in case Robertson gets traded at the deadline) never hurts. Secondly my being able to move Eaton's salary is also a HUGE help for me right now. Sure I lose a very solid OF for the next few years when he returns from injury but he's not helping me this year and I need space now. I like Dickerson too but he's been an enigma and I don't know if anyone really knows when he'll show up to play this year. Bader could be a solid major leaguer or he could be a bust. That's just a lottery ticket in this deal.
Thanks Drew. Good luck.

Confirm.
Since I am not competing this year, I am happy to take on injured guys with the hope of them helping in the future. Eaton and Dickerson both fit that mold. Knebel has been great, but is only controlled this year, so I am happy to get a couple talented guys that will help my rebuild starting next year.
