The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired outfielder Colby Rasmus from the St. Louis Cardinals in an eight-player deal according to Buster Olney of ESPN.

In addition to Rasmus, the Blue Jays will get hurlers Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters from St. Louis. The Blue Jays are shipping Marc Rzepcynski, Octavio Dotel, Corey Patterson and three players to be named later or cash considerations (via Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports) and recently acquired Edwin Jackson to the Cardinals.

 Olney adds that Miller will be flipped to the White Sox.

Earlier today, we learned that the White Sox traded Jackson and Mark Teahen to the Blue Jays for Jason Frasor and Zack Stewart.
