Should The Cardinals Trade Brendan Donovan Or Build Around Him?

Brendan Donovan has become one of the hottest names at the GM Meetings, with Derrick Goold reporting that if teams are doing their jobs, roughly twenty two clubs should be checking in on the Cardinals super utility man. The Yankees and Dodgers have liked him before, and now the Royals and Guardians are among the teams linked to Donovan as Chaim Bloom listens on almost everyone and looks to reshape this roster.  In this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer debate whether the Cardinals should trade Brendan Donovan at all, or put an extension in front of him and make him a core piece for the next winning Cardinals team. They dig into how he fits in a future lineup with Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II, why his versatility and contact profile age well, and what message it sends if St. Louis moves on from a “Cardinal for life” type player.
