The St. Louis Cardinals traded outfielder Allen Craig and starting pitcher Joe Kelly to the Boston Red Sox today for starting pitcher John Lackey.
It was the second trade the team had made for a starter in the last two days, following the deal sending a minor league outfielder to Cleveland for Justin Masterson.
Lackey and Masterson will join Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, and Shelby Miller in the starting rotation. Another starter, Michael Wacha, is on the disabled list and is not expected to return until September.
