They are not trading for Donovan. Nor is Donovan getting traded anywhere else either. The cardinals are obviously asking a ton for him valuing him as a star.

Or the Mariners are waiting for the right time to pull the trigger.

I don't think the mariners are feeling enough pressure. I think the cardinals are asking for both Montes and Cijntje. The mariners are willing to go into the season with Young

No way to tell until Spring Traing starts, I guess. Jerry said they plan on adding a bat or by Spring Training. So we'll find out in the next 45 days.

I wouldn't even call Brendan Donovan a bat. Much less a big bat.

He isn't a big bat but at .287/.775 he is Babe Ruth compared to Young and Ben.

I guess if Suarez is willing to take a one year contract. That's what it would turn on isn't it. Interesting how his value seems to be cratering generally after a 49 home run season
He was.

What is the right time??? Bloom isn't backing down. It is in the next week or July.

Cards start camp on the 12th and Bloom said if he is still a Cardinal by then he is pulling him off the market.
