The St. Louis Cardinals are moving on from Jack Flaherty after seven seasons.
St. Louis is finalizing a deal to trade the veteran righthander to the Baltimore Orioles, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Cardinals are receiving infielder Cesar Prieto in exchange for Flaherty, per baseball insider Francys Romero. Prieto is Baltimore's No. 16 ranked prospect, per MLB.com.
The Cardinals' decision to move on from Flaherty comes as little surprise amid the club's surprising downfall in the National League Central. St. Louis currently sits fifth in the division with a 47-60 record and isn't even close to contending for a playoff spot.
