There's 1 thing working against Mariners amid Brendan Donovan stalemate
St. Louis Cardinals v. San Francisco Giants | Kavin Mistry/GettyImagesWith two weeks left in January and less than a month to go until spring training, it is frankly surprising that the Seattle Mariners have not traded for Brendan Donovan yet. He makes too much sense for them, and the St. Louis Cardinals couldn't ask for a better trading partner.
Right now, the situation seems to be a stalemate. Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reported last week that Donovan is still Seattle's "top priority." The Cardinals, meanwhile, value the 29-year-old as a star, and would like for his trade sweepstakes to be resolved soon one way or another.
