The Seattle Mariners are finalizing a trade to acquire utility man Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-team deal involving the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners are sending switch pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje and outfield prospect Tai Peete to the Cardinals, while infielder Ben Williamson goes to the Rays, who return a draft pick and prospect Colton Ledbetter to St. Louis. Donovan, who has a versatile skill set and posted a .287 batting average, adds depth to the Mariners’ lineup, but questions remain about their power hitting after losing key players to free agency. While this trade is a positive step, it may not be sufficient for the Mariners’ World Series aspirations.
