Third baseman Josh Donaldson reportedly prefers to stay with the Atlanta Braves, but only if he lands the type of contract he is looking for as a free agent.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Donaldson would like to stay put "all things being equal" but also understands the next contract he signs will likely be his last significant one and "is seeking the largest possible guarantee."
The developments in the Donaldson market come after fellow third baseman Anthony Rendon agreed to a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
