Guardians Rumors: Guardians could be poised to take advantage of Cardinals retooling

Earlier this week, we detailed how ESPN's Jeff Passan outlined Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan stood out as a “perfect fit” for the Guardians.

He may not be the only Cardinal available this offseason who makes sense for Cleveland.

Earlier this morning, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon and Katie Woo put out a report (subscription required) highlighting that the Cardinals are interested in offloading some of their veterans like Nolan Arenado, Sonny Gray, Donovan and Lars Nootbaar, among others.

While Donvan is still the best fit of all of those players, all of them stand out as options who could help the Guardians win in 2026.
