THIS IS HUGE… Yankees Closing in on TRADE OF THE YEAR! Brendan Donovan to Yankees?
This is more than baseball. This is New York. This is history. What’s good, Yanks Nation? Welcome back to New York Yankees News TV, the channel where the heart of the evil empire beats the loudest. I’m your host, and today we’ve got exclusive intel that’s making the hot stove absolutely burn up. Coming straight from the MLB back rooms to the ears of the bleacher creatures. If you want to show your friends that you actually know ball, you already know the deal. Don’t gatekeep this content. Let’s jump straight into it because the trade rumors surrounding the New York Yankees are heating up on a level we haven’t seen in a minute. Recent reports confirm that a Brendan Donovan deal is imminent with the Bronx Bombers showing massive interest in the all-star infielder. The St. Louis Cardinals are officially in liquidation mode and Donovan, despite only being 4 years into his MLB career, isn’t part of their long-term rebuild plans. We are talking about a guy who in the 2025 season batted a solid 287 with 10 home runs and 50 RBI’s. These aren’t just random numbers. They are proof of an elite contact hitter who controls the strike zone like few others. Something our offense desperately lacked during crucial moments in the playoffs. Uh, the man posted a 775 OPS, finishing in the top 10% of the league in whiff and strikeout rates. The Yankees checked in on Donovan’s price recently along with the Mariners and Blue Jays, which indicates there’s going to be a bidding war. But why is Brian Kman so obsessed with a second baseman when we already have Jazz Chisum Jr.? The answer is versatility. Donovan won a utility gold glove in 2022. He plays second base, third base, and crucially uh can handle left field with ease. Picture a scenario where Donovan takes over the leadoff spot. He’s a lefty who gets on base. His on base percentage was 353, which would allow us to move Aaron Judge to the three hole where he prefers to hit or keep him at two with more traffic on the base paths. However, there’s a caveat that bothers me and I know it’s going to bother you, the diehard pinstripes fan. The Yankees are already stuffed with lefty hitters. We’ve got Jazz Austin Wells, Ben Rice, and Trent Gisham. Adding Donovan, another lefty, unbalances our batting order, leaving us vulnerable against elite lefty pitching in the playoffs. It’s a brilliant move talent-wise, but risky compositionwise. The question remains, is it worth sacrificing the lefty righty balance for a pure contact talent like Donovan? I believe so. but only if the front officer’s next move is surgical. Brendan Donovan brings the contact and bat discipline the team needs to stop relying solely on the home run. He is the piece that connects the offense, but his arrival demands an urgent right-handed counter move. So Yankees fan, would you be okay with stacking the team with lefties to get a legitimate leadoff guy like Donovan, or would you rather chase a righty, even if it costs more? Let me know your take in the comments. If you want to follow every detail of this negotiation, smash that like button and subscribe right now. Let’s make Yankees News TV take over YouTube. We’re back for the second block and this is where the armchair general manager magic happens. Remember when I said bringing in Brendan Donovan would create a too many lefties problem? Well, the solution might also come from St. Louis and it has a first and last name, Wilson Contrarus. Insider info suggests that if the Yankees close the deal for Donovan, there is a real chance to expand this trade to include the veteran catcher. Contraras is the perfect answer to our dilemma. We are talking about a powerful right-handed bat who hit for a 257 average and a robust 791 OPS last season. Think about it. Contraras isn’t just a catcher. He’s a 2016 World Series champ, a leader on the field. He would bring immediate balance to the lineup. But how do we fit him in? This is where that bold decision I mentioned comes into play to land Contras and Donovan. The Yankees would likely have to involve Austin Wells in the trade. I know Wells is young and promising, but he’s a lefty. Trading him would open up the spot for Contraras to take over as the starting catcher, bringing his experience and his right-handed bat to protect Aaron Judge or Gian Carlos Stanton. Imagine the lineup. Donovan leading off followed by Judge maybe a Cody Bellinger if we snag him or Sto Stanton cleaning up and then Contrarus in the five hole that forces opposing pitchers to have zero breaks. Contras hit 20 home runs and drove in 80 runs elite numbers for the position. Plus, he can play first base or DH, giving Stanton a rest. The cost, probably Austin Wells and pitching prospects like Chase Hampton or Brock Selvage. The Cardinals want controllable young arms, and we have 7 million pitchers in the miners. Giving up a back-end top 10 prospect like Hampton to secure a World Series caliber lineup is exactly the kind of aggressive move the evil empire used to make. Some might say Contreras is pricey or old by current standards, but he is in the prime of his physical and mental maturity. He destroys fast balls and brings that grit that I sometimes feel is missing from our dugout. Jack Fungo, a respected analyst on Twitter, brought up this exact point. A double trade for Donovan and Contrarus gives us an elite lead offman and a right-handed offensive catcher. Solving two massive needs in one shot. It would be an allin for next season, guaranteeing we don’t waste another year of Aaron Judge’s prime, including Wilson Contreras turns a good offse into a legendary offse. We solve the lefty problem, upgrade the catcher position offensively, and add a veteran champion. The cost in prospects is high, but the World Series trophy is worth more. Would you have the guts to trade young Austin Wells in a package to bring in the experience and right-handed bat of Wilson Contraras along with Donovan? Or do you prefer betting on youth? I want to see the debate heat up down below. Call to action. Don’t stay on the sidelines for this convo.
