NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees shipped pitcher Jordan Montgomery to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for outfielder Harrison Bader on Tuesday, the teams announced.
New York also will receive a player to be named later or cash considerations as part of the deal, which was struck just before the trade deadline.
Montgomery has been a top performer for the Yankees, posting a 3.77 ERA in 272 innings across 51 starts the past two seasons.
Bader, who is currently on the injured list (foot), has played for the Cardinals across six seasons.
