Cardinals' Breakout All-Star Shockingly Tabbed Potential Trade Bait
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The St. Louis Cardinals are in a weird spot as an organization right now. They're seemingly built to rebuild, especially considering their front office is in a transitional period. But the roster is winning. This puts them in a bad spot at the trade deadline. If they buy again and fall short of postseason success, the season will feel like a waste. But if the front office sells in the middle of a winning stretch, the fan base will be upset. Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer recently made the shocking suggestion that the Cardinals could look to trade All-Star utilityman Brendan Donovan in the coming weeks. Rymer noted that it's unlikely, but still a possibility. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 15: (L to R) Eugenio Suárez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Elly De La Cruz #44 of the Cincinnati Reds, Brendan Donovan #33 of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Matt Olson... ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 15: (L to R) Eugenio Suárez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Elly De La Cruz #44 of the Cincinnati Reds, Brendan Donovan #33 of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Matt Olson #28 of the Atlanta Braves look on during the seventh inning of the MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park on July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. More Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images "Though there has been nothing recently, Donovan has occasionally popped up in trade rumors in the past," Rymer wrote. "Now would arguably be a good time to make him available, and not just because this is probably as high as his value is going to go. It's a matter of public knowledge that the Cardinals will be undergoing a transition after 2025, with Chaim Bloom set to inherit the front office from John Mozeliak. "If the team continues to fade in the NL playoff race, it would be wise to get a head start on the process. The present isn't special, after all, and the future is clouded by a mediocre farm system. If nothing else, trading Donovan would help the latter." It would be quite a bombshell move if the Cardinals made this decision. However, as Rymer notes, it's very unlikely. Still, if a team is willing to severely overpay for Donovan, the Cardinals could consider dealing him at his highest value. The star's ceiling isn't much higher than he's playing right now, so his trade value will only go down from here. The Cardinals will likely make the right decision to hold onto him, but stranger things have happened. More MLB: Reds Showing 'Strong Interest' In Shocking Trade For Star Pitchers

Cardinals All-Star's Trade Likelihood Revealed After Strong First Half
Cardinals All-Star's Trade Likelihood Revealed After Strong First Half originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Prior to the start of Tuesday's nights midsummer classic, Bleacher Report unveiled a list of eight MLB all-stars who could be on the trade block. Advertisement Among the all-stars mentioned was St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan. "This is a long shot, as there haven't been any solid rumors or even any vaguely compelling chatter about Brendan Donovan getting traded this summer." Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer wrote. "Not that this is surprising. He's been the Cardinals' best position player, and the team has risen above low expectations amid a 51-46 start to the year. They will begin the second half with only a 1.5-game deficit in the NL wild-card race." The 28-year old, first-time all-star is enjoying his best season yet with St. Louis. Advertisement Through 89 games, Donovan is slashing .297/.367/.430 with eight home runs and 26 RBIs. His 102 hits rank tied for sixth in the National League with 2024 National League batting champion Luis Arraez and last year's NL MVP Shohei Ohtani. National League second baseman Brendan Donovan (33) of the St. Louis Cardinals takes batting practice Brett Davis-Imagn Images "However, St. Louis has also been treading water with a 15-18 record over its last 33 games." Rymer suggested. "FanGraphs gives it a 28.5 percent chance of making the playoffs, which is barely better than where it began the year." The Cardinals recent struggles, coupled with Donovan's stellar play, certainly make him an intriguing trade candidate. So does the timing of the Cardinals front-office change writes Rymer. Advertisement "It's a matter of public knowledge that the Cardinals will be undergoing a transition after 2025, with Chaim Bloom set to inherit the front office from John Mozeliak. If the team continues to fade in the NL playoff race, it would be wise to get a head start on the process." "The present isn't special, after all, and the future is clouded by a mediocre farm system. If nothing else, trading Donovan would help the latter." Despite the timing, Rymer puts the likelihood of the Cardinals dealing Donovan before the MLB trade deadline is low.
