Indians second baseman Ron Belliard is expected to be traded to the Cardinals if he makes it through Sunday's game healthy, FOXSports.com has learned.
Doesn't matter much to us at this point, as we're not chasing the Cardinals. If Belliard plays like he has at his best, this is a major upgrade for St. Louis. He hasn't done much of that in 2006, though.
...Belliard, 31, recently missed six games with a hamstring injury, but returned to the Indians' lineup Saturday. The Cardinals want to make sure that he is fully recovered before completing the deal.
Update [2006-7-30 18:28:15 by Jeff]: This isn't quite Caballo or Abreu territory, but it is now official. I just got the press release from the Cards: Belliard for Hector Luna.
