Cardinals All-Star Reportedly Has Massive Trade Market

It sounds like the St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most sought-after pieces who could be out there for the taking in the trade market.

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave an update on All-Star infielder Brendan Donovan on Thursday and noted that “few players, if any” have gotten as much trade buzz as the All-Star utility man has gotten this offseason and specifically mentioned teams like the Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers for him, but noted that the list goes on.

“The Cardinals and new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom haven’t exactly opened up shop in the lobby Whitey Herzog-style, but they’ve made it clear to the industry they’re talking trades,” Goold said. “And few players, if any, have generated as much initial interest from teams as Donovan. One source described how more than half the teams in the majors would like to trade for him and joked how there should be ’22 or more’ calling the Cardinals.
