Donovan Swap Reframes Mariners Roster, Spurs MLBTR Chat Debate

MLBTR host Steve Adams runs a live chat dissecting the Donovan-to-Mariners trade, noting the Cardinals’ haul—Cijntje, Tai Peete, Colton Ledbetter plus two future draft picks—and Seattle’s fit at 2B/3B with room to maneuver. The discussion also touches on related off-season topics (bullpen/rotation targets, multi-team trades, and market chatter around free agents like Giolito, Bassitt, and Verlander) as well as other teams’ plans, including Giants’ defense around Arraez/Devers and Rays’ recent moves.

Mariners Close In on Brendan Donovan Deal in 3-Team Trade

Seattle is near a deal to land Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a likely three-team swap that would also involve the Rays, who are set to receive Mariners infielder Ben Williamson.

Mariners DFA Kowar to Clear Room for Pereda’s Catching Depth

Seattle designated reliever Jackson Kowar for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for catcher Jhonny Pereda, who was acquired from Minnesota for cash considerations. Kowar, a 29-year-old former Royals first-round pick, has struggled in the majors (roughly 8.21 ERA in 91 MLB innings) and is out of options after a injury‑plagued Mariners stint that included Tommy John surgery and a shoulder impingement. Pereda, a well-traveled depth catcher with strong minor-league numbers and solid defense, provides catching depth behind Cal Raleigh, with Andrew Knizner signed to back him up and a Triple-A option available. The move comes as Seattle reshuffles the roster following the trade that sent Harry Ford away and reduced other catching options on the 40-man roster.
