Cards notes: Feb. 28 -- Deal with White Sox lands shortstop Tim Anderson
With the start of spring training looming on March 1, the St. Louis Cardinals made one last major move to bolster their roster trading top catching prospect Ivan Herrera to the Chicago White Sox for shortstop Tim Anderson.
Anderson, 29, has been the White Sox starting shortstop since the 2017 season.
His 2022 campaign was cut short by injury, as he played in just 79 games.
During those games, he hit .301 with six homers and 25 RBIs.
For his career, Anderson is a .288 hitter with 16 homers and 313 RBIs.
The acquisition of Anderson will allow Tommy Edman to slide back to his primary position at second base.
Brendan Donavon will likely serve as a swing player as he can play virtually every position on the field except center field and shortstop.
One of the top catching prospects in the game, Herrera became expendable when St. Louis acquired Sean Murphy via trade with Oakland.
Herrera, 22, has 11 games of experience in the majors during which he has hit .111 with one RBI.
