St. Louis Cardinals Offseason: A Promising Path with Alec Burleson and Potential Trade for Brendan Donovan The St. Louis Cardinals offseason is shaping up to be a standout one, with new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom making significant moves. After trading pitchers Sonny Gray and catcher Willson Contreras, Bloom has cleared space for promising young hurlers and opened doors for prospects like Alec Burleson at first base. Blooms focus on balancing short-term wins with long-term rebuilding has been evident in his recent trades, but fans are growing frustrated with holdovers like infielder Brendan Donovan and third baseman Nolan Arenado. With players like Ketel Marte off the market and Alex Bregman signing with the Chicago Cubs, Donovan stands out as the top infield trade chip. Experts suggest the Seattle Mariners as the perfect fit for Donovan, especially after losing Jorge Polanco. Bloom is reportedly seeking at least two top prospects in return, and the Mariners have gems like switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje. With more teams potentially jumping in, the Mariners may need to meet the price and seal the deal soon. Checkout Solipillow.com
