"The Orioles are reportedly involved in trade talks with the St. Louis involving Cardinals right-handed pitcher Kyle McClellan.

According to a report from Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals are shopping McClellan in order to alleviate payroll costs so that St. Louis can sign free-agent veteran right-hander Roy Oswalt. McClellan will make $2.5 million this season in his second season of arbitration eligibility.

Strauss reports that the Cardinals have reached out to several teams, but the Orioles "have emerged as one of the more promising trade partners for McClellan.""
