It seems like the Cardinals have been dangling Brendan Donovan in front of Guardians’ fans' faces all offseason.
They finally ripped him away on Monday thanks to a three-team deal where the Cardinals dealt Donovan to the Seattle Mariners.
In total, the Mariners are acquiring Donovan for the cost of third baseman Ben Williamson (who is going to the Rays) and pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje, who is going to the Mariners.
The Cardinals also received OF Colton Ledbetter and two competitive-balance Round B picks from the Rays.
The Seattle Mariners have acquired All-Star Brendan Donovan.
