Brendan Donovan's Versatility Key to Cardinals' Opening Day Infield Plans

Brendan Donovan is expected to remain with the St. Louis Cardinals, offering crucial versatility for their Opening Day lineup. He could start in left field, or fill in at second base if JJ Wetherholt isn't ready, or at third base if Nolan Gorman struggles. Donovan also provides insurance at shortstop. While his trade value is high, the Cardinals value his ability to cover multiple positions, with the San Francisco Giants reportedly still engaged in trade talks for the infielder.
