Jared Young working to become an everyday Major League Baseball player next year with his new team, the St. Louis Cardinals.

After six years of getting to know everybody in the Chicago Cubs organization, Jared Young is saying goodbye.

They Cardinals play in the National League Central Division, same as the Cubs, and the Prince George native plans to be a frequent visitor to Wrigley Field in 2024.The Cubs informed Young last week they were leaving him off their 40-man roster and five days later they called to let to let him know he was Cardinals’ property. Not long after that, the Cards front office staff called him.

He was a pitcher’s nightmare in 2023, hitting 23 home runs, 21 of which were with triple-A Iowa. In 90 games with the I-Cubs he hit. .310 with 39 extra-base hits, drove in 72 runs and posted a .994 OPS. The Cards finished last in their division in 2023, their 71-91 record tied for third-worst in the NL, and it’s a clean slate for Young trying to carve his niche as an everyday MLB player.
