Another update coming in from the baseball universe.
-Indians Beat Writer Paul Hoynes is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals are likely to end up swinging a deal for Indians pitcher Jake Westbrook by this afternoon’s deadline.

-Jake is sporting a 4.65 ERA with a 6-7 line alongside 73 strikeouts. He is scheduled to make over $5 million more over the rest of his contract including his base salary and incentives.

Earlier today it was said that the likelihood of a deal was “less than 50/50″, but it is said that several teams have decided to make a last-minute attempt at the slugger.
