""Right now, the interest in Brendan Donovan is widespread throughout Major League Baseball. I think he is, in many ways, the avatar for where the St. Louis Cardinals are at the moment. Chaim Bloom has just come in as the president of baseball operations, and he is listening on basically every veteran who is starting to make arbitration money or more than that.""
""And Brendan Donovan, because he is able to play above-average defense, multiple spots among the diamond, Brendan Donovan is garnering widespread interest from exactly the teams that you would hope to be getting interest from. The Dodgers, the Mets, the Yankees. He could be some insurance in terms of if the Phillies don't re-sign Kyle Schwarber, maybe there's a spot there. And yes, the Houston Astros.""
At the 2025 trade deadline, the Los Angeles Dodgers considered acquiring Brendan Donovan while seeking a left-handed hitting outfielder. Donovan earned his first All-Star selection in 2025 and provides above-average defense across multiple positions, including outfield and infield roles. The St. Louis Cardinals did not trade Donovan at the deadline. With Chaim Bloom now serving as president of baseball operations, the Cardinals are evaluating veteran players entering arbitration and Donovan has drawn interest from many clubs, such as the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, Phillies (if Kyle Schwarber departs) and the Astros. Donovan hit .287/.353/.422 with 32 doubles, 10 home runs and 50 RBI in 2025.
