Brendan Donovan trade speculation heats up
The trade winds are swirling around St. Louis Cardinals All-Star utility player Brendan Donovan, with several teams showing interest as the trade deadline approaches. However, a recent report has cast doubt on one potential destination for Donovan.
Cardinals and Red Sox connection
Earlier this week, the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox completed a notable trade that sent catcher Willson Contreras to Boston. Following that deal, renowned insider Ken Rosenthal revealed that discussions have taken place regarding a possible trade involving Donovan.
“The Cardinals and Red Sox have also discussed a trade that would send infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan to Boston, according to people briefed on the conversations,” Rosenthal noted. This insight suggests that the Red Sox are considering Donovan as a potential addition to their roster.
Donovan’s potential role in Boston
If the trade materializes, Donovan is expected to take over at second base for the Red Sox. His versatility and ability to contribute in multiple positions make him an attractive option for a team looking to bolster its lineup. Additionally, the Red Sox have been linked to other infield targets, including the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte, indicating their eagerness to enhance their roster ahead of the deadline.
As the deadline approaches, speculation surrounding Donovan’s future continues to grow. The baseball world watches closely to see where this talented utility player will land next.
