Cardinals get RHP O’Brien in trade with Mariners, claim versatile Young off waivers from Cubs

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals acquired right-hander Riley O’Brien from the Seattle Mariners for cash and claimed utilityman Jared Young off waivers from the Chicago Cubs on Monday to fill out their 40-man roster. The 28-year-old O’Brien was an All-Star for Triple-A Tacoma last season, going 2-5 with a 2.29 ERA. He was assigned to Triple-A Memphis but will have a chance to compete for a job with the big league club in spring training. Young appeared in 16 games for the Cubs last season. He hit .186 with two homers and eight RBIs.
