Former Norwich Free Academy standout Dominic Leone was part of a three-player deal on Friday, sending the 26-year-old relief pitcher from the Toronto Blue Jays to the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Blue Jays received 26-year-old outfielder Randal Grichuk in the trade and minor league pitcher Conner Greene went to the Cardinals along with Leone.

Leone is 11-8 with a 3.48 ERA in 160 career outings, all in relief, with Seattle, Arizona and Toronto. He pitched for the Mariners from 2014-15, the Diamondbacks from 2015-16 and with the Blue Jays last season, when he was fourth in the American League while stranding 42 of 54 inherited runners and limiting lefty batters to a .183 average. Leone, a right-hander, was 3-0 with a 2.56 ERA in 65 games, striking out 81 batters in 70 1/3 innings.

Leone, a 2009 NFA graduate, played at Clemson for three years and was drafted by the Mariners in the 16th round in 2012. Greene, a 22-year-old righty, was a seventh-round draft pick of the Blue Jays in 2013 and went 5-10 with a 5.29 ERA at Double-A New Hampshire last season. Both Leone and Greene will be added to the Cardinals major league roster, which is currently at the maximum of 40 players.

Grichuk hit .238 last season with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs in 122 games. He became expendable after St. Louis got big-hitting left fielder Marcell Ozuna in a trade with Miami last month, and because of the emergence of Tommy Pham in center. With Ozuna and Pham locked into starting spots, and former center fielder Dexter Fowler expected to move to right, Grichuk was the odd man out of the projected lineup.

After coming to St. Louis from the Los Angeles Angels in the trade that sent David Freese and Fernando Salas west in 2013, Grichuk hit .249 with 66 home runs and 182 RBIs in 404 games.
