Pineiro to Cards

The Boston Red Sox have sent pitcher Joel Pineiro to the St. Louis Cardinals. Boston will send cash considerations to St. Louis to help offset Pineiro's contract, while the Red Sox will receive a Minor League player to be named. Pineiro has always been eyed by the Cards, even though he is struggling this year(5.03 ERA in 31 appearances). Pineiro was designated for assignment on July 23rd, and has made two starts for Boston's Triple-A team.
