Si.com
  • The Mariners prioritize Brendan Donovan as their top off-season target, aligning with the latest push from Seattle amid renewed Cardinals trade talks.

  • Competitive interest from San Francisco Giants adds urgency for Seattle as suitors weigh Donovan’s fit and value.
  • Cardinals would trade Donovan only if the offer represents the best possible return, signaling a high bar for a deal.
