The St. Louis Cardinals traded for infielder Ty Kelly from the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Sam Gaviglio on Thursday, the Cardinals announced Thursday. 

Kelly heads to St. Louis after spending last season with Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old infielder slashed .263/.381/.412 with 15 home runs and 80 RBIs in 134 games. 

Gaviglio makes his way to Seattle after a season with Double-A Springfield. The 24-year-old former fifth-round pick posted a 5-12 record and 4.28 ERA in 136 2/3 innings while striking out 126. 

Neither player were ranked within their organization's respective top 20 prospects, according to MLB.com.
