Back to EpisodesMariners Trade for Donovan, Boost Lineup
Description
The Seattle Mariners bolstered their lineup with a significant offseason trade, acquiring infielder Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-team deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. Donovan, who had a breakout season, brings a high batting average and low strikeout rate, filling the Mariners need for contact hitters and a versatile infielder. The trade earned the Mariners an A grade, while the Cardinals received a solid return in their rebuild. The Rays acquired third baseman Ben Williamson, but their grade is slightly lower due to Junior Caminero blocking him at third base. Overall, the trade enhances the Mariners AL powerhouse status without touching their top prospects. Checkout https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn
