Cardinals Targeting Jake Westbrook

Found July 30, 2010 on MLB Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Jake Westbrook,  Jayson Stark,  Aaron Cook,  Livan Hernandez
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Colorado Rockies,  Washington Nationals

The Cardinals are targeting Jake Westbrook, rival teams tell ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark. The Cards are no longer pursuing Aaron Cook or Livan Hernandez, since they’re focused on the Indians right-hander. However, Stark hears that there’s just a 50% chance of a trade. The Indians don’t want to absorb salary in a deal, but Westbrook will make about $4MM between now and the end of the season. He also obtains a $2MM bonus if the Indians trade him. The Cardinals have been looking for an innings eater and Westbrook fits that description. The 32-year-old has posted a 4.65 ERA in 127.2 innings, with 5.1 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9. Westbrook is scheduled to face the Blue Jays tomorrow.
