Rasmussen strengthens the Cards rotation for the next 4 years. Herrera is likely blocked now with Contreras, Burleson is still behind O’Neill and Nootbar. Winn is is the prospect that the Cards would have to think hard about moving Winn though. Rays take a hit this season by losing Rasmussen but do have depth and Bradley at some point this season and Baz coming back next year.

I can’t see the Rays trading a top starter without getting a top pitching prospect in return.
