The report did not indicate what the Cardinals acquired in the deal.
O'Neill, 28, batted .231 with nine home runs and 21 RBIs in 72 games last season as he worked through a lower back strain. O'Neill has struggled to match his production from the 2021 season when he batted .286 and hit 34 home runs with 80 RBIs, while finishing eighth in National League MVP voting.
O'Neill has played all six of his major league seasons with the Cardinals, batting .248 with 78 home runs and 217 RBIs in 477 games.
The move to acquire the right-handed-hitting O'Neill comes three days after Boston traded outfielder and left-handed hitter Alex Verdugo to the rival New York Yankees.
