A trade just went down in baseball that could signify a high level of talent arriving in St. Louis in exchange for Brendan Donovan.
The St. Louis Cardinals are in fire-sale mode for 2026 as they begin a rebuild, and one name that rises above all others in potential returns on a trade is utility player Brendan Donovan. It would be a tough pill for Cardinals fans to swallow if the 2022 Gold Glove winner and 2025 first-time All-Star were dealt, but the team would likely obtain some fairly high-ceiling prospects in return.
