Young's trade request grabbed headlines prior to spring training, but they're comfortable moving forward now that the season has begun.

"We have no conversations going about trading any of our players right now, Michael included, and I don't see any coming up." Young has been the DH twice and started at second base Sunday, so we still think he'll get enough playing time to be a reliable fantasy contributor this season.
