#STLCards asked about Eric Thames, as a way to make sure they got an outfielder back in Rasmus deal. Not clear if #BlueJays will move him.

More.

Per @JoeStrauss Cards will get Jackson, Dotel and Rzepczynski from TOR for Rasmus

Cards address quite a few issues.

[DColts]

[Metes]

It only took 4 mediocre arms to land Rasmus, that's awesome

[DColts]

Not if you're a Cardinals fan.

[MiamiHomer]

They fucked his value when they benched him and spoke out about him being an ass.

[Erick]

Toronto's GM is a genius.

Even though this deal does make the Cardinals better, as well.

But still, to unload Wells contract and then make a deal like this out of nowhere for Rasmus is impressive. Getting Teahen helps too because he'll probably play 3B, moving Joey Bats back to the OF.

[MiamiHomer]

It's not official, come on Marlins jump in!

The trade: Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson.#trades

A lot of names

[Metes]

Even with the Patterson throw in, Jays are pwning

[Erick]

Corey Patterson sucks.

[emkayseven]

I don't understand how we didn't pull something like this off

[Metes]

Thats why I called him a throw in
