Cardinals Set Sky-High Price on Brendan Donovan as Trade Interest Builds

Katie Woo reports St. Louis will trade the 2025 All-Star only for an overwhelming return.

Overview

  • The Cardinals have received inquiries from multiple clubs, with the Mariners, Giants and Red Sox identified in recent coverage as potential suitors.
  • Team officials maintain there is no urgency to deal Donovan, and sources cited by Woo indicate no offer has met their threshold so far.
  • Donovan is under club control through 2027 and offers defensive versatility with experience across the infield and outfield.
  • He earned his first All-Star nod in 2025 and posted a .287/.353/.422 line with 10 home runs over 118 games last season.
  • Woo framed St. Louis’s stance within a broader roster reset under Chaim Bloom that has included moving veteran pieces in recent months.
