Breaking on ESPN:

Cardinals acquire Heyward and Walden from Braves for Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins.

Initial reaction: Co-ards totally get over on this one.  I don't see much in Miller.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Heyward is in line to be a free agent after the 15 season.

I like Miller's arm. I just wonder about his health long-term.

I thought Miller finished the season well.  This doesn't appear that lopsided to me.

Besides, you're trading a pitcher to the Braves.  He's a shoo-in for Cy Young now.

Random Texas college connections: Shelby Miller was an A&M baseball commit and Tyrell Jenkins was a Baylor football signee (quarterback) before each signed with StL out of high school.
