TL;DR Summary

Seattle acquires All-Star Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a three-team trade with the Rays. Seattle sends two prospects (Jurrangelo Cijntje and Tai Peete) to the Cardinals and third baseman Ben Williamson to the Rays; the Rays receive outfielder Colton Ledbetter to the Cardinals. Both Seattle and Tampa Bay also ship two competitive-balance Round B picks to St. Louis. Donovan, 29, a versatile infielder and 2025 All-Star, is under team control for 2026 at a $5.8 million salary, while the Cardinals continue their rebuild around youth and payroll relief.
