Cardinals' Josiah Ragsdale: Shipped to division rival
Rotowire
The Brewers traded Ragsdale and Alexander Frias to the Cardinals on Monday in exchange for Dustin May and JoJo Romero, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Ragsdale has been one of the breakout prospects of the year, particularly since mid-June. In 36 games since June 17, Ragsdale is slashing .333/.459/.783 with 17 home runs, nine doubles, nine steals, an 18.2 percent walk rate and a 24.7 percent strikeout rate. A seventh-round pick in 2025 out of Boston College, Ragsdale not only controls the strike zone, but 76.7 percent of his balls in play at Double-A were either line drives or flyballs. On the season, he has 19 home runs and 31 steals (on 34 attempts) in 86 games across High-A and Double-A.

Brewers' Josiah Ragsdale: Dominating at Double-A
Rotowire
Ragsdale is 20-for-65 (.308) with seven home runs, 13 RBI, six stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K through 18 games with Double-A Biloxi.
A sizzling start to the season with High-A Wisconsin earned Ragsdale a promotion to Biloxi, and he has fared even better in the OPS department than he did at his first stop. The Brewers do not lack quality prospects, and Ragsdale has firmly put his name in the mix.
