Cardinals trade slugger to AL contender

In a deal with an American League team, the young slugger Tyler O’Neill will leave the St. Louis Cardinals.

O’Neill is being exchanged to the Boston Red Sox, as per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. There was no quick word on what the Cardinals will get consequently.
