The Pirates have reportedly traded for outfielder Delwyn Young from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor league players to be named later. Young was once considered one of the Dodgers' top prospects but was never able to secure a spot in the Dodgers' crowded outfield.

Young, 26, had been designated for assignment yesterday after spending most of the offseason recovering from elbow surgery, then being assigned to Class AAA Albuquerque for rehabilitation. Young is a switch-hitter that can play the outfield and second base. No word if he's going to stay with the Pirates or get sent to the minors.

Young was one of the players the Dodgers had been offering to the Pirates in the Jack Wilson trade talks in November and December.
