The Cardinals have landed pitcher Jake Westbrook in a three-team trade that will also send outfielder Ryan Ludwick to the Padres.

"I'm excited to go to a club that's contending for a playoff spot and pitch in some meaningful ballgames," Westbrook said. "That's why you play the game, to get a chance to play in the playoffs and I look forward to doing that."

St. Louis gets Westbrook from Cleveland, who received Double-A pitcher Corey Kluber from San Diego.
