""St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, who already has traded right-hander Sonny Gray and first baseman Willson Contreras to the Boston Red Sox, might not be done dealing with his former club," Rosenthal and Sammon wrote. "The Cardinals and Red Sox also have discussed a trade that would send infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan to Boston, according to people briefed on the conversations. Donovan likely would play second base for the Red Sox, who have also been linked to the Arizona Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte."
"Donovan could fill a number of roles for the Dodgers, having won the utility Gold Glove in his rookie season. He has batted well above league average in all four of his MLB seasons, and made his first All-Star Game in 2025. He posted a .775 OPS last season, as well as a career-high .287 batting average. Donovan can play across the infield, and has sporadically featured in the outfield during his four-year career."
The Boston Red Sox have discussed acquiring Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals, with Donovan likely to play second base. Boston previously acquired Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras from St. Louis this winter. No deal is close, and Donovan would likely command a larger return than Gray or Contreras, who were acquired by the Cardinals for five minor-league pitchers while including a combined $28 million. The Dodgers showed offseason interest in Donovan. Donovan is a versatile defender, a utility Gold Glove winner, a 2025 All-Star, and posted a .775 OPS and a .287 batting average last season.
