The New York Yankees are once again being linked to a familiar friend who could give them a boost in the infield. According to several insiders, the St. Louis Cardinals are looking to trade Brendan Donovan and the Yankees are interested.
Per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Cardinals are looking to offload talent in the offseason under the direction of new executives, and Donovan is one of the players who could be dealt away.
“The St. Louis Cardinals are not entering a full-fledged rebuild under new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, but the club will entertain trade offers for several star players as it shifts its focus to player development and homegrown talent,” he wrote.
“They … will look to trade from their surplus of left-handed hitters, a group that includes Brendan Donovan,” he continued.
