The Cardinals made their second offseason deal with Toronto by shipping outfielder Randal Grichuk, who was going to be a reserve this season, to the Blue Jays on Friday for setup reliever Dominic Leone and another righthander, Class AA pitcher Conner Greene.
Grichuk, 26, played four seasons with the Cardinals after coming over in a November 2013 trade from the Los Angeles Angels that sent David Freese and Fernando Salas to the Angels.
Last season, Grichuk, who will join shortstop Aledmys Diaz as Cardinals having been dealt to Toronto, hit .238 with 22 homers and 59 runs batted in.
