Indians acquired RHP Chris Perez from the Cardinals for utilityman Mark DeRosa.
The Indians will also receive a player to be named later somewhere down the road. Typically those aren't big name guys, but it might be different in this case -- or at least should be. Perez is a nice relief prospect, but DeRosa has real value this year and probably could have drawn a more intriguing youngster. The 23-year-old Perez has a 4.18 ERA and 30/15 K/BB ratio in 23 2/3 innings for the Cardinals this year.
