Cards, Indians familiar trade partners

When it comes to the non-waiver Trade Deadline, most general managers listen to plenty of trade proposals. But when the Cleveland and St. Louis front offices talk, they listen closely. Since 2002, the Cardinals and Indians have pulled off 10 midseason deals, including Wednesday’s. They’ve been big and small — five coming within a week of the Deadline — but the two teams clearly enjoy working together on the trade front.
