Brendan Ryan Traded To Mariners For Maikel Cleto

In return for Ryan, the Cardinals pick up Maikel Cleto, a 21-year-old righty with a big arm. Cleto is able to reach the high-90s with his fastball, but last year struggled in advanced A-ball, and his future seems to be in the bullpen. His arm does give him the potential to rise quickly.
