Seattle Mariners fans aren't the only ones who are surprised that Brendan Donovan hasn't been moved yet. That's reportedly the sentiment within the industry as well, and it isn't just because there's a game of chicken happening between the Mariners and St. Louis Cardinals.
According to Will Sammon and Katie Woo of The Athletic, there is surprise around the industry that the Cardinals found takers for Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras before they found one for Donovan. He's their most valuable trade chip, after all, though that also means there's pressure on Chaim Bloom to get it right when he does trade the All-Star utility man.
