The Cardinals dealt outfielder Randal Grichuk to the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for right-handed reliever Dominic Leone and right-handed pitching prospect Conner Greene.
Grichuk is coming off a disappointing 2017 season in which he hit .238 with 133 strikeouts in 122 games. Even with the low average, he still hit 22 home runs and 25 doubles. The 26-year-old fell to the fourth outfielder on the Cardinals’ depth chart this winter following the offseason acquisition of Marcell Ozuna.
