Mets' Jared Young: Nets MLB deal from Mets
The Mets signed Young to a one-year contract Monday.
Young split the 2024 season between Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization and with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization, posting a .917 OPS at the former and a 1.080 OPS at the latter. The Mets have very little in the way of depth at first base right now, but Young is nonetheless likely to begin 2025 at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Cardinals transferred Young to the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization in exchange for cash considerations.
Young was removed from St. Louis' 40-man roster just before Opening Day and is now headed overseas to continue his career. The 29-year-old had spent the entire 2024 season at Triple-A Memphis, with whom he slashed .285/.411/.506 with 11 home runs over 74 games.

The Cardinals outrighted Young to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Cardinals' Jared Young: Optioned to Memphis
The Cardinals optioned Young to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Young has slashed .210/.290/.435 across 69 plate appearances in his MLB career, but a .353 OPS during spring training will send him back to the minors for the start of the season. Young found plenty of success with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate last season, and a return to form at the plate could help him reach the majors again during his first season with the Cardinals.

Cardinals' Jared Young: Not doing enough to win roster spot
Young has gone 2-for-31 (.065) over 15 Grapefruit League games.
Young provides organizational depth at the corner infield and corner outfield spots, but he's yet to get in a groove during spring training. The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Cubs in November. Young's poor hitting in spring will likely mean he begins the year in the minors.

Cardinals' Jared Young: Claimed by St. Louis
The Cardinals claimed Young off waivers from the Cubs on Monday.
The Cubs had removed Young from their 40-man roster last week and he'll now join one of their division rivals. The 28-year-old turned in a .310/.417/.577 batting line with 21 home runs over 90 games this season at Triple-A Iowa. He's slashed .210/.290/.435 across 22 contests at the major-league level and can handle the corner infield and outfield spots.

Cubs' Jared Young: Homers in win Friday
Young went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Rockies.
Making his first start for the Cubs since July, Young delivered a critical home run to help the team in its pursuit of a playoff spot. The 28-year-old has only appeared in 15 contests this year and has provided two long balls along with eight RBI. Young remains off the fantasy radar, though he may see another start or two down the stretch depending on matchups, as he does offer the lineup an additional left-handed bat.

Cubs' Jared Young: Starting Sunday
Young is starting at first base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Young sat out the last two games but will return to the lineup Sunday to face Domingo German. Young has been slumping, going just 1-for-17 over his last six appearances, so he could fall out of favor at first with Trey Mancini taking on a larger role. Mancini is on the bench Sunday, however.

Cubs' Jared Young: Remains on bench
Young will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Yankees.
Young immediately stepped into the large side of a platoon with Trey Mancini at first base after getting called up in late June, but his off day here comes against a righty in Gerrit Cole. Young has gone 1-for-17 at the plate in his last six games after going 4-for-9 with three extra-base hits in his first three appearances, so he could continue to cede time to Mancini going forward.
