The Boston Red Sox's search for their final infielder continues as the team's equipment truck departed from Fenway Park to Fort Myers on February 2, signaling the official start of spring training. Despite the offseason symbolically coming to an end, Boston feels no closer to finding the missing piece.
One of its last potential trade options came off the board that afternoon. The Seattle Mariners will trade for St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan, first reported by Katie Woo of The Athletic (subscription required). The deal is close, but not yet complete, and a third mystery team could be involved.
