"Boston's quest for infield help has been one of their primary offseason storylines, with such names as Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez, Nico Hoerner, Brendan Donovan and many others reportedly considered as free agent or trade targets. In Donovan's case, Rome and Rosenthal report that the Sox had some negotiations with the Astros and Cardinals about a three-team trade that would've sent Paredes to Boston, Donovan to Houston, and presumably a multi-player prospect package to the rebuilding Cardinals."
"Instead, St. Louis opted for another three-team trade with the Mariners and Rays, with Donovan landing in Seattle after months of speculation about the super-utilityman's future. The specific breakdown of what the Cardinals might've gotten from the Astros or Red Sox isn't known, but the Donovan deal netted St. Louis a recent first-round pitching prospect (Jurrangelo Cijntje), two other prospects (Colton Ledbetter) and two 2026 draft picks in Competitive Balance Round B."
The Pirates and Red Sox are among at least five teams discussing Isaac Paredes in trade talks with the Astros. Boston pursued multiple infield targets this offseason, including Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez, Nico Hoerner and Brendan Donovan. One proposed three-team deal would have sent Paredes to Boston, Donovan to Houston, and a prospect package to the rebuilding Cardinals. St. Louis instead completed a different three-team trade that sent Donovan to Seattle and returned a recent first-round pitching prospect, two other prospects and two 2026 Competitive Balance Round B draft picks.
