Mariners Acquire All-Star Brendan Donovan in Three-Team Blockbuster

The Seattle Mariners finalized a three-team trade, acquiring All-Star infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals. Donovan, a 2025 All-Star who slashed .287/.353/.422 with 10 homers, is expected to play second or third base and bat leadoff. The Mariners sent prospects Jurrangelo Cijntje and Tai Peete, plus a draft pick, to St. Louis, with Ben Williamson going to the Rays. Donovan, a 2022 Gold Glove winner with a career .282 average, provides crucial infield versatility and remains under team control through 2027, bolstering Seattle's lineup.
